2007 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · NM56 FHP

The 2007 Honda CR-V shows a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT test on 2025-09-09 passing without any recorded defects. This suggests the vehicle has remained compliant with current UK standards over the past year, though the history includes two failed tests in 2023 and 2024—both on the same date—without defects logged. The lack of advisories or repeated failures implies no persistent mechanical issues were identified by the tester, though the absence of defect details means no specific faults can be confirmed. The vehicle’s current MOT is valid for another year, but the irregular test dates (particularly the double entry in 2024) warrant scrutiny of whether the car was temporarily off the road or simply not tested on schedule. The recorded mileage of 137,681 miles aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 7,246 miles annually. There are no obvious gaps or spikes in mileage between tests, though the 2023-08-04 failure and subsequent retest on 2023-08-22—just 20 days apart—suggests either a minor oversight or a quick resolution of an unrecorded issue. The consistent annual mileage suggests regular driving rather than prolonged storage, which could mitigate some wear concerns, but the lack of service history means no insight into maintenance intervals or component replacements. A prospective buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension components, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The 2023 failures, though unrecorded, may hint at intermittent issues with brakes or emissions—common failure points in this model—so binding calipers, worn brake discs, or failing catalytic converters should be checked. Structural integrity is also critical; the CR-V’s underbody and wheel arches are prone to corrosion, so rust penetration in the subframe, sills, or wheel bearings should be thoroughly examined. Finally, the tyres—if original—will likely require replacement, and the wiper blades and fluid levels should be verified as consumables not covered by the MOT.
