2010 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · RW09 DAD

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing age-related wear components. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 147,681 miles passed, it introduced several advisories that were absent in the previous year. The appearance of corrosion on the tow bar and exhaust flange, alongside worn anti-roll bar bushes, indicates that the vehicle is beginning to show the typical degradation associated with its age, despite the clean record seen in 2024. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a sixteen-year-old Honda, averaging approximately 9,230 miles per year. The data shows steady usage with roughly 7,500 miles covered between September 2024 and September 2025, and another 7,500 miles in the preceding year. This regular interval suggests the car has been used consistently rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which often helps prevent premature degradation of rubber components and seals. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, indicating the owner has maintained a consistent annual inspection schedule. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the lower undercarriage and suspension geometry. The failure in 2023 due to a worn front anti-roll bar linkage, followed by the 2025 advisory for the rear bushes, suggests the entire suspension system is reaching the end of its functional life. Specifically examine the depth of the corrosion on the exhaust flange and tow bar mounting points to ensure surface rust has not progressed into structural thinning that would require a future failure. Checking the tyres for sidewall damage is also prudent, given the previous 2022 advisory regarding a cut nearside tyre.
