2008 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · RF08 PMY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on November 11 2024 at 133,259 miles. While the record shows immediate failures prior to these passes in both 2023 and 2024, the lack of recorded defects on the passing certificates suggests the owner successfully addressed and rectified identified issues before re-tests. This indicates a reactive maintenance approach that ensures the vehicle meets legal standards periodically without a history of escalating mechanical failure. At 133,259 miles over eighteen years, the CR-V averages approximately 7,400 miles per annum, which aligns with typical light usage for a vehicle of this age. The mileage data shows consistent progression, with roughly 7,600 miles covered between October 2022 and November 2023, and another 5,600 miles recorded between November 2023 and November 2024. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of inactivity, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components, fluid-related issues, and seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components, as these are common areas of concern for older Honda SUVs. Given the age and mileage, checking the chassis for structural corrosion on the sills and rear subframe is essential. Because the MOT history shows failures without specific defects listed in this summary, it is vital to verify the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake lines to ensure no hidden wear is awaiting a failure in the next test cycle.
