2005 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · RF55 CPX

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status having passed its most recent MOT in February 2026 at 165,726 miles with no defects recorded. This represents an improving maintenance trend compared to previous years where the vehicle failed in 2024 and 2025. The transition from failure to a clean pass suggests that the current owner has addressed specific mechanical or compliance issues identified during the earlier testing cycles. At 21 years old with 165,726 miles, this Honda CR-V has averaged approximately 7,900 miles per year. This figure aligns with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, suggesting consistent operation rather than prolonged neglect. The mileage accumulation is steady, with roughly 3,300 miles covered between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 1,677 miles recorded between February 2025 and February 2026. This regularity often indicates that seals and components remain lubricated through long periods of standing. While the latest record shows no immediate faults, the failures in February 2024 and 2025 indicate that the vehicle is prone to specific recurring issues. A buyer should perform a thorough physical inspection of the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly around the rear wheel arches and sills where this model frequently suffers rust. Given the age and mileage, the state of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and ball joints requires close scrutiny as these components are the most likely causes of MOT failures on high-mileage SUVs. Checking for binding calipers or uneven brake wear is also essential to ensure the recent clean pass reflects maintained braking performance.
