2007 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · RJ57 ADO

The most recent MOT, dated 16 July 2025 at 82 120 miles, recorded a pass with no defects, yet the certificate is now thirteen months expired, rendering the vehicle non‑roadworthy for legal use. Up to November 2023 the mileage was essentially static, rising only 386 miles over two years, indicating a stable maintenance pattern. The abrupt increase of 9 192 miles between July 2024 and July 2025 marks a clear shift in usage and raises questions about the recent driving regime. Between December 2021 (73 510 miles) and November 2023 (73 896 miles) the vehicle accumulated just 386 miles, reflecting minimal annual mileage. The jump to 82 120 miles by July 2025 adds 9 192 miles in roughly twelve months, more than double the historic average of 4 322 miles per year. This sudden accumulation suggests either a period of intensive operation or a possible mileage discrepancy, both of which merit scrutiny during a pre‑purchase inspection. With no recurring faults logged, the buyer should concentrate on components that are vulnerable to higher usage and age. Examine the brake discs and pads for uneven wear, test the rear calipers for binding, and check suspension bushes and coil springs for play. Inspect the exhaust for corrosion, assess tyre tread depth and alignment, and look for rust around wheel arches and the underbody. Verify that a current MOT is held, review service records covering the recent high‑mileage period, and assess battery condition and overall structural integrity.
