2010 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · MV60 BXP

The vehicle currently holds a passing MOT certificate from March 2026 at 66,714 miles. This result follows a period of instability, including a failure in October 2024 where the front suspension damping effect was flagged as reduced. While the most recent test passed, the history shows a clear trend of recurring issues relating to suspension components and consumable wear, suggesting that basic maintenance, particularly regarding the front suspension systems, has been inconsistent over the past year. The recorded mileage of 66,714 miles for a 2010 model represents a relatively low annual accumulation of approximately 4,170 miles per year. The MOT history indicates a period of high activity between July 2023 and October 2024, with multiple failures recorded during this time, specifically concerning tyre condition and shock absorber performance. The record shows a pattern where the vehicle is maintained enough to pass, but significant mechanical wear or neglect occurs shortly thereafter, as evidenced by the failure in October 2024 and the subsequent advisories on the March 2026 test regarding an oil leak and a defective rear exhaust mounting. A buyer must thoroughly inspect the suspension system immediately. The history shows recurring issues with the nearside and offside front shock absorbers exhibiting reduced damping effect, which could indicate internal seal failure or worn hydraulic components. Furthermore, the vehicle has a history of tyre failures, with multiple tests flagging cuts and cracking in both front and rear tyres. Any inspection should focus on the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake system integrity, as these components are the primary areas of concern based on the recorded failures. Finally, the buyer should check for the noted oil leak and the defective rear exhaust mounting identified in the most recent test. These items require attention to ensure the vehicle is fully roadworthy and that the previous owner has addressed the mechanical deficiencies flagged in the 2023 and 2024 records.
