2006 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · ML06 LWH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the MOT record indicates a trend of worsening maintenance rather than improvement. The most recent test on 2025-07-16 was passed at 154,926 miles, yet this date is only 11 days away from today, suggesting the vehicle has not been serviced since the previous inspection. The failure to maintain the 151,055-mile threshold in 2024 indicates that the owner likely skipped routine oil changes and brake inspections, leading to accelerated wear on critical components. The mileage pattern is characterized by rapid accumulation and gaps in service history. The vehicle was tested in 2023 at 150,537 miles, which is significantly lower than the 154,926-mile mark in 2025, creating a visible gap between the 2023 and 2025 inspections. This gap suggests that the owner may have driven the car for extended periods without addressing the wear on suspension bushings, brake discs, or drivetrain components, effectively treating the vehicle as a "new" car in terms of mechanical condition rather than a used car. Consequently, a buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and consumables in person. The most serious risks identified are the binding rear brakes and the worn-offside rear shock absorbers, both of which were flagged in 2023. While the front anti-roll bar linkage and headlamp products were noted as issues, they were not deemed seriously reducing light output and do not pose immediate structural failure risks. The lack of recent maintenance history means that the car is likely in a state of poor condition, requiring immediate attention to suspension bushings and brake discs to prevent further degradation.
