2014 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · RK14 TFY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test in July 2025 at 132,476 miles resulted in a pass despite advisories for both rear tyres being near the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This indicates that while the vehicle is meeting minimum safety standards, the owner is delaying routine consumable replacements until they reach the point of failure. At 132,476 miles over twelve years, the CR-V has averaged approximately 11,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a family SUV. The mileage progression appears consistent, with a 10,363-mile interval between July 2024 and July 2025, and roughly 6,000 miles between October 2023 and 2024. This regular accumulation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which generally keeps seals and engine components conditioned. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the suspension and braking systems. The 2022 failure for a worn nearside front anti-roll bar linkage and the 2023 advisory for thin rear brake pads suggest that suspension components are reaching their natural wear limit. Given the uneven wear noted on the rear tyres in 2025, a professional wheel alignment check and an inspection for worn suspension bushes or ball joints are essential to prevent premature wear of new tyres. Check the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly around the rear subframe and mounting members, as this is a common vulnerability for this model at this age and mileage.
