2002 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · RK52 EOC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy and shows a stable maintenance trend following a period of significant mechanical intervention. The most recent test conducted in June 2025 at 111,367 miles resulted in a pass without recorded defects, although a rear child seat obstructed a full inspection of the adult seat belt. This represents a marked improvement over the major failure in 2022, indicating that the critical steering and suspension issues identified at that time were addressed by the previous owner. At 24 years old, the recorded mileage of 111,367 miles reflects a low annual usage rate of approximately 4,640 miles. This low mileage pattern suggests the vehicle has been used sparingly, which often preserves the drivetrain and interior components. The data shows consistent annual testing intervals, with only 2,880 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and roughly 3,000 miles between 2024 and 2025. However, low mileage on a vehicle of this age can also indicate that rubber components and seals have suffered from age degradation rather than mechanical wear. A buyer must pay attention to the recurring oil leak noted in the 2023 and 2024 records. While the tester deemed these leaks not excessive, the persistence of the issue over multiple years suggests a slow gasket or seal failure that has not been rectified. Given the 2022 failure involving a steering rack with excessive free play, a worn suspension arm bush, and a leaking shock absorber, a physical inspection of the front end is essential. The buyer should check for any new signs of fluid leaks or premature wear in the suspension geometry to ensure the previous repairs remain effective and are not failing due to age.
