2010 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · RE60 UNM

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance record reveals a worsening trend regarding suspension and braking system integrity. While it passed its latest test in April 2026 at 132,644 miles, the tester identified new issues including play in the steering rack inner joints and corrosion on the rear brake pipe. This follows a period of significant wear-related failures noted in 2025, indicating that components are reaching the end of their functional life rather than being proactively replaced during previous inspections. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per year. The record moves from 98,851 miles in 2023 to 111,036 miles in 2024, and finally to 132,644 miles in 2026. This steady accumulation suggests the car has been used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, though the age of the vehicle explains why rubber components and metal fittings are showing advanced degradation despite the relatively low annual mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and steering assembly. The history shows a persistent issue with deteriorated ball joint dust covers and steering rack inner joints that have appeared across 2023 to 2026. These failures allow moisture into the joints, leading to premature mechanical wear. Furthermore, the braking system requires close attention as the tester flagged corrosion on the front brake hose ferrules and the rear brake pipe in the most recent tests, which poses a safety risk if not addressed. The exhaust system also shows signs of advanced structural decay. The rear exhaust mounting was described as badly corroded in 2025, and the back box was noted as rusty in the 2026 test. While these did not cause an immediate failure, they indicate that surface rust is progressing. A potential owner should ensure the corrosion is not compromising the structural integrity of the exhaust hangers or piping, as these components will likely require replacement in the near future.
