2004 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · RA54 VMD

The vehicle's MOT history shows an inconsistent pattern of passing and failing tests over the last three years. The most recent record from 10 February 2026 shows a pass with no defects, following a failure on 02 February 2026. This cycle of failure and immediate retest suggests intermittent issues that are being addressed, though the lack of recorded defect details in the provided data prevents a specific diagnosis of the mechanical cause. The trend appears to fluctuate rather than follow a clear trajectory of improvement or decline. The recorded mileage of 128,957 miles for a 2004 model indicates an average annual usage of approximately 5,862 miles. This is low for a vehicle of this age. While lower mileage can reduce wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often correlates with longer periods of inactivity, which can lead to issues such as perished rubber components, seized brake calipers, or degraded fluids. The MOT data provided does not list specific mileage increments for the individual tests, making it impossible to verify if the vehicle is being driven consistently or if it has sat idle for extended periods. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the vehicle's underside to check for structural corrosion, particularly on the chassis and sills, which is common for this age. Given the pattern of failures in January 2025 and February 2026, a detailed check of the braking system, including discs, pads, and flexible hoses, is necessary to identify any recurring binding or leakage issues. The suspension system, specifically the bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, should also be examined for signs of wear or play that might have contributed to previous test failures. buying_score: 55 risk_level: Medium.
