2015 Honda CR-V 1.6L Diesel · RF65 CVB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing tests. The most recent MOT test conducted on 20 August 2025 at 129,804 miles passed with no recorded defects, following a curious failure just two days prior at 129,727 miles. Because the failure record lists no defects, this suggests either an administrative error or a non-mechanical issue that was rectified immediately before the re-test. Since the July 2022 test, the vehicle has maintained a clean record without any advisories or failures. The mileage accumulation aligns with typical expectations for an eleven-year-old Honda, averaging approximately 11,800 miles per annum. Between July 2022 at 79,212 miles and August 2024 at 112,203 miles, the car covered 33,000 miles, indicating a period of higher usage. The interval between the 2024 and 2025 tests shows another 17,600 miles added in one year. This regular usage pattern is generally beneficial for mechanical components as it prevents seals from drying out and keeps the drivetrain lubricated through regular operation. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the history, a physical inspection should focus on standard wear-and-tear items associated with high-mileage SUVs. A buyer should inspect the front suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, as these often show degradation after 120,000 miles. Checking the braking system for rear caliper binding or uneven pad wear is also prudent, though the records do not flag these issues. Finally, verifying the chassis for underbody corrosion is essential to ensure the structural integrity has not been compromised over time despite the clean MOT history.
