2010 Honda CR-Z 1.5L Petrol · SB10 AAZ

The 2010 Honda CR-Z remains roadworthy based on its most recent 2025-09-12 MOT, which passed with minor advisories. Corrosion in rear sill mounting areas and nearside front brake binding were noted, but neither posed immediate safety risks. Front tyres were near legal limits, suggesting imminent replacement. No new critical failures emerged since the 2024-09-13 test, indicating a stable maintenance pattern. However, recurring corrosion and tyre wear highlight ongoing care requirements. The vehicle’s 150,093-mile total aligns with average annual usage of 9,381 miles over 16 years. MOT intervals between 2022 and 2025 were consistent, with no significant gaps. A brief 2023-08-12 failure due to tyre tread depth was resolved within two days, reflecting prompt attention. Structural corrosion advisories since 2022 suggest potential long-term exposure to moisture, though none reached critical thresholds. Suspension components like the anti-roll bar ball joint showed minor play in 2022, now resolved. Buyers should inspect rear sill corrosion for progression, particularly near suspension mounting points, and check for rust under undertrays or sill covers. Brake systems require scrutiny for binding calipers or uneven disc wear, given the 2025 advisory. Front tyres must be replaced immediately, and the anti-roll bar joint should be rechecked for play. Undertrays and sill covers, repeatedly advised since 2022, should be fitted to mitigate further corrosion. No major structural or drivetrain issues appear in the record, but recurring minor faults demand regular maintenance.
