2009 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · MT09 TJZ

The 2009 Honda CR-V presents a clean bill of health at its most recent MOT on 23 June 2025, recording 126,968 miles with zero defects. The maintenance trend is broadly stable, with no recurring mechanical or structural failures across the five-year record. The vehicle has consistently passed first-time, and the only advisories raised have been minor consumable items rather than systemic faults. The mileage accumulation tells a consistent story. Between June 2021 at 114,840 miles and June 2025 at 126,968 miles, the vehicle added 12,128 miles over four years, averaging roughly 3,032 miles annually during that window. That is lower than the lifetime average of approximately 7,469 miles per year, suggesting the car has seen lighter recent use or spent extended periods stationary. No significant gaps appear in the annual test sequence, with tests completed each June from 2021 through 2025, indicating regular annual operation and no prolonged off-road periods. The only defects recorded in the entire history are two nearside and offside front tyre wear items flagged in the June 2024 test at 125,246 miles, along with a single defective offside wiper blade noted in June 2022 at 118,833 miles. Both are routine consumable issues and point to no underlying mechanical concern. The 2024 tyre wear advisory, appearing on both front tyres simultaneously, could suggest wheel alignment or tracking was due for attention at that time, though the subsequent clean pass in 2025 implies the issue was addressed. A buyer inspecting this vehicle in person should focus on the condition of the front suspension bushes, coil springs, and anti-roll bar linkages, as these are common wear points on higher-mileage CR-Vs that can fail without prior MOT flags if deterioration is gradual. The underbody and sill areas deserve close scrutiny for corrosion, particularly around the rear arches and subframe mounting points, given the vehicle is approaching seventeen years old. A road test should confirm the handbrake holds firm on a gradient and that the brake calipers are not binding, as the clean MOT record does not rule out early-stage issues that have not yet reached a failure threshold. The tyre condition and tread depth across all four wheels should be verified, given the 2024 advisory history.
