2012 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · RO62 EHX

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a trend of deteriorating suspension and tyre condition. While it passed the test in May 2026 at 66,027 miles, the tester identified multiple advisories that were not present in the previous year. The shift from a clean record in 2024 to a list of mechanical wear in 2026 suggests components are reaching the end of their functional life despite the low mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-distance usage, with only 2,167 miles recorded between the June 2025 and May 2026 tests. This low-mile-to-age ratio typically reduces internal wear on the engine and drivetrain components, but it often leads to age-related failure of rubber components and seals due to infrequent use, which aligns with the bushing-related issues noted in the latest report. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the front geometry and suspension assembly. The recurring reports of inner-edge tyre wear in 2023 and 2026, combined with the worn nearside lower suspension arm bush and play in the ball joint, indicate a persistent alignment issue or failing suspension components. The damaged track rod end dust covers on both front sides are not immediate failure points but require replacement to prevent grease ingress and premature joint failure. The windscreen has been a known issue since at least June 2025 and should be checked for cracks that may propagate.. Additionally, the presence of a nail in the nearside rear tyre and the legal wear on both front tyres necessitate immediate replacement to ensure safety. Given the flagged bushes, the vehicle should be inspected for structural corrosion which often affects older vehicles that sit for long periods.
