Our Verdict
This 2012 Honda CR-V shows concerning recurring mechanical issues despite its relatively low mileage. While the vehicle has a clean service history, the repeated exhaust system failures and brake component wear raise red flags for long-term reliability.
Prioritize a full mechanical inspection focusing on the exhaust system and braking components. Check for rust on the exhaust flanges and ensure brake pads are replaced if worn. Negotiate the price significantly due to the recurring issues. Verify if the vehicle has a full service history and look for documentation of any major repairs. Be cautious of potential hidden costs from the exhaust system corrosion.
Diesel fuel economy averages 45-50 mpg for this model, resulting in moderate fuel costs. The vehicle falls in tax band L (£155/yr for 2026-27) due to its CO2 emissions. Insurance group 18 is average for this class. Expected maintenance costs include £200-£400 for exhaust repairs and £150-£300 for brake pad replacements. Annual running costs are estimated at £1,200-£1,500 including servicing.
Thoroughly examine the exhaust system for rusted flanges and loose components, particularly the centre silencer. Check brake pads, discs, and tyres for wear (noted in multiple MOTs). Inspect suspension components for play, especially the front track rod end. Look for signs of body rust around the exhaust mounting points. Verify that all MOT failures have been properly repaired with documented service records.
The 2012 Honda CR-V has a mixed record with 4/5 MOTs passing but shows persistent exhaust system corrosion and brake component wear. At 83,454 miles (14 years old), the mileage is below average for its age but the vehicle's history suggests potential hidden costs. The grey diesel variant has shown specific weaknesses in exhaust integrity and braking systems.
No aggregate reliability data available for this specific model, but the vehicle's history shows typical weaknesses in exhaust system durability and braking components for diesel variants.
