2010 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · RE60 ADZ

The vehicle demonstrates a stable but aging maintenance profile, with the most recent MOT on 14 August 2023 at 148,880 miles showing a pass despite several advisories. The tester flagged worn front and rear brake pads alongside damaged dust covers on both nearside and offside track rod ends. While these issues were not critical enough to cause an immediate failure, they indicate that consumable components are reaching the end of their service life. The history shows a recurring pattern of addressing wear items such as tyres and brake pads rather than significant mechanical or structural failures. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 9,300 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 49,086 miles in November 2013 to the current 148,880 miles. There are no significant gaps in usage that would suggest long periods of inactivity, which is positive for preventing seized components. The jump from 108,985 miles in August 2021 to 129,336 miles in August 2022 shows a standard annual interval of roughly 20,000 miles, which is slightly higher than the long-term average but well within normal operating parameters for a diesel or petrol SUV. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems. The recurring advisories for track rod end dust covers and anti-roll bar linkage play, such as the slight play noted in the August 2022 test, suggest the front suspension bushings and joints are progressively wearing. The history also highlights previous issues with brake hydraulic fluid levels and thinning pads, so a thorough check of the braking system, including fluid clarity and disc surface condition, is necessary. Corrosion remains a factor to monitor, following the 2016 advisory regarding a rusting centre to rear exhaust joint. Although no major structural corrosion has been flagged in recent years, the age of the vehicle means the underside should be inspected for advanced oxidation. Given the recent advisories for both front and rear brake pads, the buyer should confirm if these have been replaced since the August 2023 test to avoid immediate maintenance costs.
