2012 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · RO12 FSG

The most recent MOT on 2026-04-09 recorded three specific issues: front brake discs showing wear, pitting, or scoring (but not seriously weakened), and severe deterioration of dust covers on multiple suspension components. These findings suggest ongoing wear in critical areas, particularly the front brakes and suspension systems. The 2025-04-22 MOT also noted thin brake pads and similar brake disc conditions, indicating a recurring pattern of brake component degradation. The 2023-08-15 MOT included a failure for ABS and tyre pressure monitoring system faults, which were likely resolved before the 2024-08-09 and 2025-04-22 passes. However, the 2026 MOT’s focus on brake and suspension issues implies that these systems may not have been fully addressed or may be experiencing accelerated wear. The absence of defects in the 2024 and 2023 MOTs (before the 2023 failure) suggests a stable period, but the 2025–2026 results highlight a shift toward mechanical concerns. The vehicle’s mileage of 130,591 miles over 14 years equates to roughly 9,328 miles per year, which is typical for its age. This suggests normal usage rather than excessive wear, but the recurring brake and suspension issues may indicate higher-than-expected stress on these components. The deterioration of suspension dust covers, in particular, could signal neglect or exposure to harsh conditions, potentially leading to further damage if unaddressed. The trend shows a mix of stability and emerging risks.
