2011 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · MX11 PUU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive repairs. The most recent test in September 2025 at 84,222 miles resulted in a failure due to an excessively worn offside front anti-roll bar linkage and a minor exhaust gas leak. While the vehicle passed immediately upon rectification, the presence of play in the anti-roll bar linkage dating back to June 2023 indicates that suspension components were allowed to wear significantly before reaching a point of failure. At 15 years old, the recorded mileage of 84,222 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year. This low usage pattern is consistent across the records, with only 7,000 miles covered between the June 2024 and September 2025 tests. While low mileage generally suggests less wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often leads to the accelerated degradation of rubber-based components and increased corrosion due to lack of regular use, which appears consistent with the structural issues noted in the vehicle history. A buyer must focus specifically on the structural integrity of the front and rear sub-frames. The June 2024 test at 77,273 miles flagged corrosion on both structures, and while not deemed seriously weakened at that time, corrosion on Honda vehicles of this era tends to progress rapidly if untreated. A physical inspection is required to ensure the rust has not worsened into a structural failure. Additionally, the minor exhaust leak identified in 2025 should be verified to ensure it was a simple gasket or clamp fix rather than a sign of a thinning manifold or catalytic converter.
