2007 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · RV07 OVC

The vehicle shows a generally stable maintenance trend, though the most recent MOT history indicates a recent period of reactive rather than preventative upkeep. While the car passed its latest test on 13 October 2025 at 126,534 miles, this followed an initial failure on the same day due to a non-functional offside rear stop lamp. The tester also identified defective headlamp lenses and slight play in both front track rod end ball joints. These issues were noted as defects but appear to have been addressed to secure the pass, though the presence of steering component play suggests wear is beginning to manifest in the front-end suspension. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,660 miles per year. Between the October 2022 test at 100,803 miles and the September 2024 test at 119,489 miles, the vehicle covered 18,686 miles, representing a steady usage pattern. The jump from 119,489 miles in late 2024 to 126,534 miles in October 2025 shows a slight deceleration in annual mileage, but nothing that suggests long periods of neglect or excessive heavy-duty use. A prospective buyer should focus physical inspections on the front steering and suspension assembly. The 2025 report specifically flagged play in the track rod ends, which can lead to imprecise steering and uneven tyre wear if not monitored. Although the 2022 test at 100,803 miles noted thinning front brake pads and worn discs, the subsequent clean passes in 2023 and 2024 suggest these consumables were replaced. However, given the vehicle's age and the recent mention of lighting defects, a thorough check of all external lamps, lenses, and the condition of the brake system is advisable to ensure no further degradation has occurred.
