2013 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · MW62 GWC

The 2013 Honda CR-V presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 14 April 2026 at 116,159 miles with zero defects recorded. That result is the strongest outcome in the entire five-year history. The vehicle had previously picked up an advisory in July 2024 at 105,806 miles for a worn offside front inner tyre, a minor consumable issue that was evidently rectified before the next test. No recurring faults appear across consecutive tests, and the record shows no failures at any point, indicating consistent upkeep rather than reactive repairs. The mileage accumulation is broadly typical for a vehicle of this age. Between July 2022 at 79,205 miles and July 2023 at 91,194 miles, the CR-V covered roughly 12,000 miles in twelve months, a step up from the prior annual average. The pace then eased to around 6,000 miles per year between mid-2023 and mid-2024, before settling at approximately 4,464 miles in the twelve months leading to the April 2026 test. That tapering pattern suggests lighter recent use, which can reduce wear on drivetrain and braking components but may also point to extended periods of short journeys or standing, conditions that can promote condensation-related corrosion in exhaust systems and underbody areas. The advisory recorded in July 2024 for inner tyre wear on the offside front wheel is worth noting. Inner edge wear typically points to tracking or suspension geometry issues, most commonly worn suspension bushes, deteriorated ball joints, or incorrect camber alignment. Although the defect did not recur at the next test, a buyer should still inspect the front suspension bushes, drop links, and track rod ends for play, and check both front tyres for uneven tread wear patterns. The underbody tray noted at the April 2025 test at 111,695 miles may have been fitted to address debris ingress or airflow management, so its condition and fixings should be examined to confirm it has not been damaged or left loose. Given the clean recent pass and the absence of structural or mechanical advisories in the last two tests, the primary areas for in-person inspection are the underside for corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points, sills, and the exhaust system, along with a thorough brake assessment including disc thickness, pad wear, and caliper operation. A road test under varied conditions will confirm whether the earlier tyre wear issue has been fully resolved or whether any underlying alignment fault persists.
