2012 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · RO12 FTK

The vehicle currently presents in a roadworthy state, showing a clear trend of improving maintenance. Following a mechanical failure in September 2023, the car has passed three consecutive MOT tests without any recorded defects or advisories. The most recent test in September 2025 at 144,560 miles confirms that the previous issues were addressed and the vehicle met all standards. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a fourteen-year-old Honda Honda, averaging approximately 10,300 miles per year. Between January 2023 and September 2025, the vehicle covered 10,482 miles, indicating regular road use rather than long periods of stranding. The annual intervals between tests are stable, suggesting the owner has followed a standard annual schedule, which generally correlates with proactive mechanical care and prevents the degradation of rubber and fluid components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas linked to the September 2023 failure at 139,444 miles. The tester flagged excessively worn anti-roll bar bushes on both the nearside and offside rear, along with a leaking power steering hose and thin front brake pads. While these were repaired, the high mileage suggests that other suspension components like control arms and bushings may be nearing the end of their service life. Inspect the power steering system for any residual seepage and check the rear suspension for signs of corrosion to ensure the previous repairs were comprehensive.
