2013 Honda CR-V 1.6L Diesel · RO63 CYL

The vehicle currently presents in a roadworthy state, having passed its most recent MOT in April 2026 with 112,551 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows marked improvement following a period of reactive repairs in 2024. While the vehicle previously failed due to neglected wear-related items, the clean sheet from the latest test indicates that the owner has recently addressed the outstanding mechanical and safety issues identified in previous years. At 112,551 miles over 13 years, the CR-V has averaged approximately 8,658 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for an older family SUV. The mileage accumulation is consistent, showing an increase of roughly 10,600 miles between April 2024 and April 2025, and another 13,200 miles between April 2025 and April 2026. This regular use is generally beneficial for preventing components like seals and sensors from seizing during long periods of inactivity. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system, as the record reveals a recurring pattern of thin brake pads across multiple axles. The 2023 and 2024 tests flagged front and rear pad wear, while the 2025 test noted thin rear pads specifically. Even though the 2026 test passed without defects, the frequency of these advisories suggests the vehicle may require frequent brake service intervals. A physical inspection should check the calipers for binding and ensure the discs are not scored or thinned beyond optimal limits. The 2024 failure also highlighted issues with tyre management, specifically low tread depth and perishing rubber on the nearside rear. Given the uneven wear noted on the offside rear tyre in 2023, the buyer should verify the current alignment and check for excessive play in suspension bushes. Considering the age and mileage of the Honda, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly on the mounting points, remains essential, as the MOT record does not explicitly detail the state of the underbody rust.
