Our Verdict
A sensible option for those seeking a larger SUV, provided the service history is verified. The recent MOT history shows a consistent pass rate without recurring structural or mechanical failures recorded.
When inspecting this 2.0L petrol CR-V, focus on verifying the service history to complement the MOT records. While the MOTs have passed, they do not provide evidence of routine maintenance like oil changes or timing chain inspections.
Negotiate based on the mileage, which is significantly higher than the aggregate annual average for this model. Check for any signs of uneven tyre wear or headlamp clouding, as these are common failure points for the CR-V across the wider dataset.
As a 1997cc petrol engine, running costs will be higher than a smaller hatchback. You should expect moderate fuel consumption typical of a mid-sized SUV from this era.
Insurance groups for 2009 CR-Vs vary, so obtain a quote based on the specific registration. Maintenance costs should be considered in line with the vehicle's age, keeping in mind that common items like tyres and anti-roll bars are frequent failure points for this model type.
Based on the aggregate data for this model, pay close attention to the condition of the tyres and the headlamps. The MOT history for this specific vehicle shows a failure in 2023 and 2021, though no specific defects were listed in the provided summary, so a physical inspection of all exterior lighting is essential.
Additionally, check the anti-roll bars and suspension components. These are noted as top failure reasons for the CR-V model and should be thoroughly examined for play or excessive noise during a test drive.
