2008 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · OY08 YTK

The 2008 Honda CR-V presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its most recent MOT on 2025-07-08 at 165,477 miles, which resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This aligns with the prior 2023-07-20 test at 153,073 miles, also passing without issues. However, the 2024-07-17 record shows a failed test at the same mileage of 158,505 miles, though no defects were listed. While the absence of recorded faults in the latest test suggests no immediate concerns, the 2024 failure—without explanation—raises questions about potential unresolved issues that may have been addressed before the subsequent pass. The vehicle’s mileage of 165,477 miles over 18 years equates to an average of 9,193 miles annually, consistent with typical usage for its age. No significant gaps or spikes in mileage are evident, with steady progression between tests. The 2022-07-20 test at 140,014 miles and 2023-07-20 at 153,073 miles indicate gradual accumulation, suggesting regular operation rather than prolonged inactivity. The MOT history lacks detailed defect reports, which may reflect either meticulous maintenance or limited scrutiny during inspections. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age, and inspect brake systems for wear, as these are common failure points in older models. Structural integrity should also be assessed, particularly for corrosion in high-mileage vehicles. While the MOT records show no critical failures, the 2024 test anomaly warrants further investigation to confirm whether unresolved issues were rectified. The absence of recurring defects in recent tests supports the vehicle’s reliability, but physical inspection remains essential to validate the maintenance history.
