2013 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · RV63 HFY

The 2013 Honda CR-V has maintained a consistent roadworthiness record over the past five MOT cycles, with no defects or advisories recorded in any of the tests conducted between September 2021 and September 2025. The most recent inspection on 16 September 2025, at 122,893 miles, confirms the vehicle remains compliant with current DVSA standards. This suggests the car has been subjected to regular servicing and maintenance, as no recurring issues have been documented to indicate neglect or deferred repairs. However, the absence of advisories does not preclude the need for a thorough independent inspection, particularly for components not routinely tested under MOT regulations. The mileage progression of approximately 9,450 miles per year aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age, without any abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity that might suggest extended storage or irregular driving habits. The intervals between tests—consistently around 9,000 to 10,000 miles—indicate the vehicle has been driven regularly, which generally correlates with better-preserved mechanical and structural integrity. There are no red flags in the mileage data to suggest excessive wear on high-mileage components like suspension bushes, drivetrain seals, or brake calipers. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of the suspension system, particularly the coil springs, bushes, and dampers, as these are critical components that degrade over time and are not always fully assessed in an MOT. The brakes, including calipers, pads, and discs, should be closely examined for uneven wear or binding, especially since the MOT does not test for excessive brake dust or internal caliper seizure. Structural corrosion, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, warrants attention, as this is a common failure point in older vehicles. Finally, the exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or excessive rust, as these can lead to increased emissions and potential advisories in future tests.
