2013 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · RO63 FDK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test on 30 July 2025 at 111,617 miles, it failed just one day prior due to multiple mechanical defects. The failure revealed a low brake hydraulic reservoir level and critically thin brake pads. This suggests the previous owner only addressed significant wear when forced by an MOT failure, rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per year. The record shows steady usage with roughly 11,000 miles covered between August 2024 and July 2025, and approximately 19,000 miles between July 2023 and August 2024. This consistent interval suggests the car has not sat for long periods, which is generally positive for seals and components, though the cumulative mileage puts standard pressure on age-related rubber and metal components seen in the more recent tests. A buyer must closely inspect the suspension and wheel geometry due to recurring issues with uneven tyre wear. The 2023 test flagged worn inner edges on both front tyres, and the 2025 failure noted an offside rear tyre stepped on the inner edge. This pattern indicates a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that have not been properly rectified. Additionally, the braking system requires a thorough check, as the vehicle previously failed on a low fluid level, which often indicates a leak from the calipers, hoses, or master cylinder that needs immediate verification to ensure long-term reliability.
