2012 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · SB51 ADE

The vehicle presents a consistent and stable maintenance profile with no recorded failures or advisories across the available MOT history. The most recent test on 22 January 2026 at 113,106 miles returned a clean pass with no defects noted. This indicates that the vehicle has met the minimum regulatory standards for structural integrity and mechanical safety for several consecutive years without any recurring issues flagged by the tester. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical usage pattern for a 14-year-old vehicle. Between January 2022 and January 2026, the car covered 31,791 miles, averaging approximately 7,947 miles per year. The progression from 81,315 miles in 2022 to 113,106 miles in 2026 shows a steady, predictable increase in distance traveled. This lack of sudden mileage spikes or long periods of inactivity suggests the vehicle has been used regularly for routine commuting rather than sitting idle for extended periods. While the MOT record is exceptionally clean, a physical inspection remains necessary to assess components that do not always trigger an MOT failure unless they exceed specific legal limits. Given the age and mileage, a buyer should scrutinise the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and drive shafts for signs of perished rubber or grease leakage. The absence of advisories regarding brake discs or pads in the recent history is positive, but the calipers and hydraulic lines should still be checked for corrosion or minor weeping. The vehicle shows no history of structural rust or emissions failures, which is encouraging for a Honda of this era. A thorough check of the underbody for surface corrosion on the exhaust system and subframes is recommended, alongside a verification of the service history to ensure that oil changes and fluid flushes have been performed to supplement the basic MOT requirements.
