2013 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · NL13 ACY

The 2013 Honda CR-V demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its most recent MOT on 2025-07-21 at 88,500 miles. The vehicle has maintained consistent compliance over five consecutive tests, including a prior failed attempt in 2022-05-13 at 77,132 miles, which also showed no defects. This suggests the owner addressed any issues promptly, as subsequent tests from 2022 to 2025 confirm no recurring mechanical or structural failures. The absence of advisories or critical faults in the latest assessment indicates the car has been well-maintained within the scope of mandatory inspections. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging 6,808 miles annually. The most recent test at 88,500 miles followed a 4,550-mile increase from the 2023-05-29 test at 81,674 miles, reflecting regular driving. Notably, a 12-mile gap between the 2022-05-13 failed test (77,132 miles) and the subsequent 2022-05-16 test (77,144 miles) raises questions about data accuracy, but no anomalies in wear or performance are evident in later records. The lack of significant mileage spikes or extended inactivity periods implies consistent operation without prolonged standing. A buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of suspension components, particularly rear coil springs and bushings, which are common wear points in older CR-Vs. The absence of corrosion reports in the MOT history is reassuring, but underbody rust remains a potential risk in coastal or high-traffic areas. Brake systems, including disc wear and caliper binding, should be checked manually, as these can degrade between tests. Exhaust emissions and structural integrity, while not flagged in records, warrant scrutiny to confirm compliance with current standards. The vehicle’s MOT history suggests reliability, but physical verification of these elements is essential.
