2012 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · MW12 ADZ

The 2012 Honda CR-V demonstrates a stable maintenance trajectory, with its most recent DVSA test on 30 May 2025 at 41,494 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. That certificate lapsed on 31 May 2026, leaving the vehicle without a valid MOT as of today, 14 July 2026. Across the five available annual tests from June 2021 to May 2025, the tester logged zero advisories or failures, confirming a consistently sound mechanical and structural condition. Odometer readings show restrained use for a fourteen-year-old vehicle. The record charts 29,873 miles on 23 June 2021, rising to 33,173 by 16 June 2022, 36,228 on 8 June 2023, 39,038 on 4 June 2024, and 41,494 on 30 May 2025. This equates to roughly 2,900 miles added each year, with no abrupt accumulation or missed testing windows. Such low annual mileage implies gentle commuting or extended periods in storage, and the clean sheets suggest the former keeper rectified consumable items such as tyres and wipers ahead of each inspection. Despite the unblemished MOT history, a buyer must still commission a physical inspection of components that age and light use can quietly degrade. Examine suspension bushes and coil springs for micro-cracking or corrosion, and inspect brake discs and calipers for binding or pitting that a road test might not flag. Verify structural integrity at chassis weld points and the exhaust system for internal degradation affecting emissions. The sequential passes without minor niggles point to a fastidious ownership pattern rather than deferred upkeep. Nevertheless, confirm the service book aligns with the recorded mileages and assess underbody rust proofing before purchase, as the CR-V's age makes latent corrosion the chief risk not captured by prior tests.
