2002 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · S44 DAH

The roadworthiness status of this Honda CR-V is currently sound, backed by a clean pass on 18 June 2025 at 143,727 miles with zero advisory items recorded. The maintenance trend remains exceptionally stable and clear of structural decay or recurring mechanical failures. The same-day failure recorded immediately prior to the 2025 pass at 143,722 miles indicates a minor administrative or rectification correction rather than a sustained mechanical fault, as no defects were formally logged against the vehicle. Covering 143,727 miles across its 24-year lifespan equates to an annual average of roughly 5,989 miles, which sits well below the national average for a vehicle of this era. Mileage accumulation runs consistently year on year, showing steady increments such as the 8,980 miles recorded between the June 2022 test at 118,336 miles and the June 2023 test at 127,369 miles. The absence of long periods of inactivity or erratic mileage spikes suggests the car has enjoyed regular, moderate use rather than sitting idle for extended terms. Despite the unblemished MOT history, prospective buyers must perform a thorough physical inspection of vulnerable components typical for a 2002 Japanese four-wheel-drive platform. The lack of test advisories does not preclude hidden corrosion along the rear subframe mounting points, sills, and suspension turret areas. A focused check of the steering rack gaiters, suspension bushes, and the condition of the four-wheel-drive prop-shaft assembly remains essential during a ramp inspection.
