Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle's most recent MOT test on 28 August 2026 shows an improving trend regarding lighting defects, though it initially failed on electrical and colour issues. The tester flagged an inoperative registration plate lamp and incorrect colour on both nearside and offside rear direction indicators. These faults were rectified to achieve a pass on the same day. This follows a 2025 test where the rear indicators were noted as discoloured advisories, suggesting the previous owner eventually addressed the degradation of the indicator lenses or bulbs. The recorded mileage of 156,967 miles is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 10,464 miles per year. The MOT history provides a continuous annual record from August 2023 through to August 2026. There are no significant gaps in the testing timeline, and the mileage accumulation appears steady rather than showing signs of long periods of inactivity or sudden, heavy usage. A buyer should focus on the braking system during a physical inspection. The records show front brake pads were flagged as wearing thin in both the August 2024 and August 2025 tests. While the 2026 test does not repeat this advisory, the recurring nature of the warning over two consecutive years indicates a pattern of consumable wear that warrants a check of the remaining pad thickness and disc condition. The 2025 test also noted windscreen damage, which, while not affecting the driver's view at the time, represents common wear for a vehicle of this age. Beyond the lighting and brake pad advisories, the MOT history shows no recorded failures related to structural integrity, suspension components, or exhaust emissions. The primary mechanical focus should remain on the braking components and the recent rectification of the lighting system.

Our Verdict

A solid high-capacity diesel Honda CR-V that shows a clean recent MOT record despite high mileage. While the mileage is significantly higher than the national average for its age, the consistent passes suggest functional maintenance.

When inspecting this CR-V, your priority should be the service history. Given the 136,000-mile mark, you must verify if the timing belt and water pump have been replaced according to the manufacturer's schedule, as this is a critical maintenance item for this engine. Check for any signs of oil leaks around the turbocharger and EGR valve, which are common on high-mileage diesel units.

Since the vehicle failed its MOT in 2023, ask the seller exactly what the fault was to ensure it was rectifiedied correctly. While the most recent MOT showed no defects, you should still inspect the condition of the suspension components—specifically bushings and arms—as these are prone to wear and tear on heavy SUVs of this age and mileage.

The 2.2L diesel engine is designed for efficiency on motorway miles, typically yielding between 35-42 mpg depending on driving style. Tax band falls into a higher bracket due to the large engine size, and insurance groups for the CR-V are generally mid-to-high.

Annual running costs will be impacted by the high mileage; expect more frequent replacements of consumables like brake pads, discs, and filters. Estimate an annual running cost of approximately £1,200-£1,600 including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance.

Pay close attention to the braking system, as 'brake pipe' issues are a noted failure reason for this model across the fleet. Although this specific vehicle passed without defects in 2025, a visual inspection for corrosion on lines and hoses is vital.

Test the clutch and gearbox if it is a manual, as the high torque of the 2.2L diesel can wear components quickly over 130,000 miles. Also, check for smoke under acceleration, which could indicate a clogged Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), a common issue for older diesel Hondas.

This 2011 Honda CR-V has covered 136,001 miles, which is well above the average of approximately 7,000 miles per year for this era. Despite a single failure in August 2023, the vehicle has passed its last three MOT tests with no defects recorded in the most recent. The 2.2L diesel engine is a robust choice for long journeys, but the high mileage necessitates a thorough mechanical check.

The Honda CR-V generally enjoys a reputation for mechanical longevity, though the diesel engines require strict oil change intervals to avoid DPF and EGR issues.
