2010 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · RE60 UMB

The most recent MOT on 2025-12-23 showed the vehicle passed with minor issues: light oil misting on the offside front shock absorber, corroded rear shock casings, and an inoperative nearside registration plate lamp. These findings align with recurring concerns about suspension components and lighting, which have appeared in prior MOTs. The 2024-12-19 failed test revealed more severe issues, including worn brake pads, a corroded shock absorber casing, and a tyre with exposed ply, indicating ongoing mechanical degradation. A pattern of brake-related defects emerges, with front and rear brake pads frequently flagged as thin or worn, and brake discs showing signs of wear or pitting. Shock absorbers have consistently shown corrosion or damage, with one instance of external casing damage in 2024. Tyre issues, such as worn tread, bulges, and exposed ply, also recur, suggesting potential neglect or heavy usage. The nearside registration plate lamp failure has appeared multiple times, likely due to persistent electrical or bulb issues. The trend shows no clear improvement, with similar defects reoccurring across multiple MOTs. While some issues were resolved (e.g., the registration lamp in 2025), others like shock absorber corrosion and brake wear persist, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges. The vehicle’s mileage of 128,381 miles over 16 years averages 8,024 miles annually, which is typical for its age.
