2023 Honda CR-V 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · RF72 YYJ

A single MOT test is recorded against this 2023 Honda CR-V, dated 24 November 2025, which resulted in a clean pass with no advisories, defects, or failures noted on the examiner's record. With only one statutory assessment on file, the documented roadworthiness evidence is limited in scope but uniformly positive: there is nothing in the DVSA history to suggest recurring component wear, structural deterioration, or any pattern of borderline defects. For a buyer, this means the available data supports neither a clean long-term trend nor any developing fault history — the record simply shows that at the point of testing, the vehicle satisfied the minimum standards across all areas examined, from braking efficiency and emissions through to structural integrity, suspension condition, tyres, lights, and visibility. The odometer reads 21,895 miles on a car of approximately three years of age, equating to an annual accumulation of around 7,300 miles, which is broadly in line with typical private usage for a family SUV of this type. There are no unusual jumps or gaps in the mileage record that would suggest an odometer discrepancy, prolonged off-road storage, or a sudden change in driving pattern. At this level of use, mechanical wear on consumables such as brake pads, discs, and tyres is likely to remain modest, while suspension components including coil springs, dampers, bushes, and wishbone arms should not yet be displaying significant fatigue. The drivetrain, whether the petrol or hybrid variant, should likewise be operating well within its expected service life. Given that no specific components have been flagged across the recorded test, a prospective buyer should approach the inspection in a targeted rather than reactive manner, focusing on the areas most likely to require attention on a higher-mileage Honda CR-V of this vintage. On a test drive, listen carefully for any knocking or clonking from the front suspension over uneven surfaces, particularly indicative of worn lower control arm bushes or anti-roll bar link drop links, both of which are known wear items on CR-Vs of this generation. Apply the brakes firmly from a moderate speed to check for any pedal vibration, pull to one side, or grinding sensation, all of which could point to disc warping or pad wear beyond what the low mileage would normally produce. Steering should remain precise and free of any vagueness, knocking, or uneven self-centring. Beyond the suspension and braking systems, it is worth inspecting the underbody for any early signs of surface corrosion on subframe components, brake pipes, and exhaust mounting points, particularly given that the single MOT recorded will not have documented slow-developing issues that emerge between annual tests. Examine the tyres for even tread wear across both axles, as uneven wear can indicate suspension geometry or alignment concerns. Verify that all fluid levels — engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and screen wash — are at the correct marks, and check the engine bay for any signs of oil misting or weeping around the valve cover gasket, a noted area on Honda engines of this era. Finally, confirm that the service book is present and stamped at the correct intervals, as MOT history alone cannot establish whether routine maintenance has been carried out to schedule.
