2013 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · M15 TAF

The vehicle remains roadworthy as of its most recent MOT on 2025-09-22, passing with only a minor lamp fault related to the offside registration plate. The maintenance trend shows a slight improvement since the 2024 failures, where the same tyre and brake disc wear issues appeared alongside a persistent airbag warning lamp. While the tyres and brake discs were noted as worn but not excessive, the recurring airbag system fault suggests an unresolved electrical or sensor issue that should be diagnosed before purchase. The trend is not worsening, but the lack of resolution on the SRS warning lamp indicates a potential underlying fault that may reappear or escalate. Mileage progression is consistent with the vehicle’s age, averaging around 9,800 miles per year over 13 years. The jump from 101,957 miles in August 2023 to 113,408 miles in September 2024 represents roughly 11,450 miles in 13 months — a normal rate for a used SUV. The 2025 test at 127,160 miles confirms continued steady usage without any sudden spikes or long gaps in MOTs, which suggests the owner has maintained a regular servicing schedule. No evidence of prolonged inactivity or neglect is apparent in the mileage logs. Buyers should inspect the front and rear tyres closely, as multiple MOTs flagged them as worn near the legal limit — a sign of either aggressive driving, improper alignment, or lack of rotation. The front brake discs, while not excessively worn, should be checked for thickness and surface condition, especially if the vehicle has been driven on hilly or urban routes. The persistent airbag warning lamp requires diagnostic attention; it may stem from a faulty sensor, wiring fault, or a failed module, and should not be ignored as it affects occupant safety systems. Suspension components, particularly rear bushes and coil springs, should be examined for wear, as the consistent tyre wear may indicate alignment or suspension issues. No structural rust or exhaust emissions failures were recorded, which is reassuring for a 13-year-old vehicle.
