2008 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · NV08 FWD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a consistent pattern of neglecting basic consumable upkeep. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 102,789 miles resulted in a pass, it revealed multiple advisories regarding tyre condition, including uneven wear, perishing, and physical structural damage. This mirrors a trend seen in 2023 and 2024, where the owner repeatedly allowed tyres to reach legal limits or structural failure before addressing them. At 18 years old, the recorded mileage of 102,789 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 5,710 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual usage, for example, roughly 7,700 miles driven between October 2024 and October 2025. However, the low annual mileage often correlates with the degradation of rubber-based components, such as the perishing and cracking noted in the 2025 record, which suggests the vehicle may suffer from age-related rather than mileage-related wear. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the suspension geometry and steering components. The failure in October 2023 due to offside front shock absorber leaking and damping failure indicates that the suspension system is reaching the end of its life. Furthermore, the recurring reports of tyres wearing unevenly on the edges across multiple years suggest a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that have not been rectified, leading to premature replacement of new tyres.
