2004 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · SA04 ABG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent clean pass record over the last three years. The most recent inspection on 8 May 2025 at 65,417 miles passed with no recorded defects, following a streak of clean results since a single failure in early 2022. This trend suggests that once initial mechanical issues were addressed, the previous owner maintained a high standard of preventative care, ensuring the vehicle met all regulatory requirements without advisory warnings. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old Honda, averaging approximately 3,000 miles annually. Between April 2023 and April 2024, the car covered 4,012 miles, while it added 2,175 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This low usage typically implies less wear on the heavy-duty drivetrain, engine internals, and brake systems. However, such low annual mileage often indicates the vehicle may have been used for very short trips or sat for extended periods, which can lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid-related issues. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age-related decay rather than mileage-based wear. Given the low usage, check for perished or cracked suspension bushes and perished tyres, which become brittle over time despite having tread depth. Inspect the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly along the sills and rear subframe, as older Honda CR-Vs are prone to surface rust regardless of the miles driven. Additionally, verify that the brake calipers are not seized or corroded, as low-use vehicles often suffer from rust build-up on the discs leading to binding conditions that might not have been captured in a clean MOT history.
