Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to the vehicle'
Focus your attention on the braking system. The December 2023 MOT specifically highlighted corroded nearside and offside front brake pipes and wearing pads; you should verify if these components have been replaced since that test.
Given the high mileage and the nature of the 2.2L diesel engine, request a full service history to confirm the timing of major component replacements. Negotiate the price based on the immediate need to address the corrosion issues flagged in the most recent MOT record.
The 2.2L diesel engine is designed for efficiency over longer distances, but as a 2005 model, it will fall into a higher tax bracket than modern equivalents. Insurance groups for the CR-V are generally moderate, but the age of the vehicle may limit some comprehensive coverage options.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average for a vehicle of this age, particularly as it exceeds 166,000 miles. Expect to budget for wear-and-tear items and the ongoing management of chassis and pipe corrosion.
Perform a detailed inspection of the nearside and offside front brake pipes to see if the corrosion noted in the December 2023 MOT has progressed or been repaired. Check the remaining thickness of the front brake pads as per the MOT advisory.
Referencing model aggregate data, you should also inspect the ball joints and headlamps, as these are frequent failure points for this model. Check the underside of the vehicle for general corrosion, which is a known trend for the CR-V across the wider fleet.
This 2005 black Honda CR-V 2.2L diesel has recorded a total of 166,223 miles. Its MOT history shows a pass in December 2023, though this included advisories for thin front brake pads and corroded front brake pipes. The vehicle's mileage is slightly above the model average of 7,044 miles per year.
The CR-V has a respectable average MOT pass rate of 82.5%, though it is prone to issues with corrosion and ball joint wear.
