2017 Honda CR-V 1.6L Diesel · LT67 VLJ

This Honda CR-V has maintained a consistent MOT pass record with no defects recorded across all five tests, most recently passing on 2025-09-22 at 79,958 miles. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has been subject to regular, if not meticulous, maintenance, though the lack of recorded defects does not preclude underlying issues not visible to the tester. The most recent test was conducted just under a year ago, which is standard for MOT intervals, but given the vehicle’s age and mileage, a thorough pre-purchase inspection is essential to verify the integrity of high-wear components. The mileage progression indicates steady usage, averaging approximately 8,884 miles per year—a rate typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no unusual gaps or spikes in mileage between tests, with the most significant interval between the 2021-07-30 and 2022-09-28 tests covering 14,282 miles in just over two years, which remains within reasonable bounds. The absence of advisories or failures across these intervals implies the vehicle has not been subjected to prolonged neglect, though this does not guarantee all serviceable items have been attended to. Given the lack of MOT-recorded faults, priority should be given to inspecting suspension components—particularly the rear coil springs and bushes—for excessive wear or corrosion, as these are common failure points in CR-Vs at this mileage. The brakes, including rear binding calipers and front-to-rear thickness discrepancies, should be checked for uneven wear or structural fatigue, especially if the vehicle has been driven aggressively. Examine the underbody for signs of corrosion around the sills, wheel arches, and exhaust system, as these areas are prone to deterioration in older models. Finally, verify the condition of the timing belt and water pump if the vehicle has exceeded 60,000 miles, as these are critical components often overlooked in routine maintenance.
