2009 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · SA09 VMZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a pattern of recurring structural and mechanical issues. The most recent test conducted in May 2024 at 167,547 miles passed with a minor advisory for the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage having slight play. While this is a minor defect, the historical data reveals significant failures in previous years that suggest the vehicle requires consistent attention to suspension and structural integrity to maintain standards. The mileage profile is consistent with the vehicle's 17-year age, averaging approximately 9,856 miles per year. There was a gap of roughly 7,400 miles between April 2022 and April 2023, and another 9,600 miles between April 2023 and May 2024. This steady accumulation suggests regular use, but the high age of the vehicle increases the likelihood of accelerated degradation in rubber components and metalwork irrespective of the annual mileage. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the rear suspension mounting areas, as these were flagged for excessive corrosion significantly reducing structural strength in both April 2022 and April 2023. Although the vehicle passed the 2024 test, the recurrence of these structural defects is a concern for long-term viability. Additionally, the buyer should verify the offside track rod end and anti-roll bar linkages, as these have been identified as points of failure or wear in recent history. The parking brake should also be tested thoroughly to ensure the efficiency below requirements noted in 2023 has been effectively rectified.
