2004 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · RO04 XPJ

The 2004 Honda CR-V presents a stable and clean roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 15 April 2025 at 119,002 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clear MOT outcomes. The maintenance trend shows no worsening or recurring faults and implies consistent basic upkeep by prior keepers. Annual mileage sits well below typical averages for a 22-year-old vehicle. From the 22 March 2021 test at 112,404 miles to the 15 April 2025 test at 119,002 miles, the CR-V covered only 6,598 miles across four years, equating to roughly 1,650 miles per year. Such low accumulation suggests extended periods of standing or light local use rather than neglect, and the sparse clean record gives no evidence of rapid wear cycles or missed testing gaps. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT history records no advisories yet offers no detail on hidden rust on sills, subframes, or suspension mounting points common to older Japanese SUVs. The tester logged no worn suspension bushes, coil springs, or binding calipers, but standing vehicles often develop perished rubber components and seized brake mechanisms unseen in a pass result. Check brake discs for lip formation and confirm tyre sidewall condition given the low annual use. Verify the exhaust emissions system remains sound despite the clean record. The absence of advisories across five tests is a positive signal, though physical verification of consumables and chassis remains prudent before purchase.
