2005 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · RY05 FDA

The 2005 Honda CR-V with 165,240 miles shows a recent MOT pass on 2025-12-03, but the same date also records a failure with identical mileage. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative errors or repeated testing within a short period. The prior 2024-12-02 tests at 157,520 miles also show a pass and fail without defects, indicating possible minor issues resolved between assessments. Overall, the maintenance trend lacks clarity, with no definitive signs of worsening or improvement. The vehicle’s mileage of 165,240 miles at 21 years old aligns with an average of 7,869 miles annually, reflecting typical usage. The MOT history shows regular testing every 12 months, with mileage increases of 7,520 and 8,000 miles between 2023 and 2025. No significant gaps or rapid accumulation are evident, suggesting consistent operation. However, the absence of defect records in all tests limits insight into underlying mechanical conditions. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage often affects these components. The braking system, including calipers and discs, warrants scrutiny for corrosion or uneven wear. Structural integrity should also be checked, particularly for rust in body panels or undercarriage, as age and mileage increase vulnerability. The lack of defect data in MOT records means physical inspection is critical to confirm the vehicle’s condition.
