2012 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · MW12 ACY

The 2012 Honda CR-V presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2025-06-05 confirming no defects at 93,332 miles. Previous tests from 2024-09-12 (89,985 miles) and 2023-09-08 (84,323 miles) also showed no issues, suggesting consistent maintenance. However, a failed test on 2023-09-06 at the same mileage as the subsequent pass raises questions about data accuracy or potential transient faults. No structural, braking, or suspension defects were recorded in passing tests, indicating no immediate mechanical risks. The vehicle’s mileage of 93,332 miles over 14 years aligns with average annual usage of ~6,667 miles, reflecting moderate wear. Gaps between tests, such as the 10-month interval between 2022-09-07 (79,772 miles) and 2023-09-08, suggest sporadic MOT scheduling, which may indicate inconsistent maintenance practices. The lack of recurring defects in passing tests implies no escalating issues, though the 2023-09-06 failure at identical mileage to the following test warrants scrutiny. A buyer should verify suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age, and inspect brake discs for uneven wear. The absence of corrosion or structural faults in MOT records is reassuring, but physical inspection is essential to confirm tyre tread depth, exhaust system integrity, and fluid leaks. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the 2023-09-06 anomaly highlights the importance of a pre-purchase check to validate the car’s mechanical condition beyond recorded data.
