2005 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · MT55 KTA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but requires a thorough physical inspection, with the most recent MOT test recorded on 2026-03-03 at 102,871 miles, placing the vehicle in the mid-to-high 2020s age bracket. The maintenance history indicates a clear trend of worsening condition, particularly concerning the suspension and braking systems. The most recent test on 2026-03-03 failed on 102,806 miles, with multiple components flagged as severely deteriorated or non-functional, including the rear anti-roll bar linkage, lower suspension arm joints, and exhaust components. This pattern of repeated failures, where the vehicle continues to degrade despite a passing MOT in March 2023, suggests that basic upkeep has been significantly skipped over the past three years, leading to accelerated wear on critical structural elements. The mileage pattern shows a significant gap between the most recent test and the vehicle's current age, with a notable accumulation of 102,871 miles. The vehicle is approximately 21 years old with 102,871 recorded miles, averaging roughly 4,899 miles per year. While the low mileage for its age suggests lighter use or long periods of standing, the consistent high mileage combined with the repeated MOT failures indicates that maintenance has been neglected. The rapid mileage accumulation, particularly in the last year, correlates with the structural degradation observed in the MOT record, where components such as the suspension and brakes have become corroded and worn. Given the recurring faults in the suspension, brakes, and structural integrity, a buyer should inspect the vehicle for binding rear brakes, binding front brakes, and excessive play in suspension bushings. The exhaust heat shields and central rear stop lamp are also non-functional, requiring immediate attention. The engine MIL inoperative indicates an electrical malfunction that must be addressed to prevent potential overheating or fire risks. The vehicle must be checked for corrosion on the underbody and suspension components, as rusting and corrosion in the suspension and undercarriage are serious structural risks that can compromise the vehicle's ability to handle normal driving conditions.
