2015 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · LS65 OFJ

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding suspension rubberwork. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 64,653 miles passed, the tester flagged multiple failures involving the front track rod end and lower suspension arm ball joint dust covers. This follows a three-year pattern of recurring deterioration in anti-roll bar linkage dust covers dating back to 2023, suggesting that components are only addressed once they reach a point of failure rather than as a preventative measure. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,878 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual usage patterns, moving from 42,244 miles in April 2022 to 64,653 miles in 2026. While low mileage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often correlates with the degradation of rubber components due to age, which explains the frequent dust cover failures and tyre cracking noted in the 2024 record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry to ensure all ball joints and bushes have been properly replaced. The repeated failure of dust covers indicates a risk of moisture ingress, which will lead to premature joint failure if ignored. Additionally, the 2026 report notes both front tyres worn to the legal limit with edge wear, which often points to an alignment issue that requires professional adjustment to prevent rapid scrubbing of new tyres.
