2011 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · SC60 HPF

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a concerning trend regarding basic consumable upkeep and structural preservation. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 146,209 miles passed, the tester flagged all four tyres as being worn to the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This continues a multi-year pattern of neglected tyre maintenance that suggests the previous owner consistently defers repairs until they reach an MOT failure point. At 146,209 miles, the CR-V has averaged approximately 9,750 miles per year over its fifteen-year life, which aligns with typical usage for this age. The mileage accumulation is steady, with roughly 1,800 miles covered between February 2025 and March 2026, and a larger gap of nearly two thousand miles between early 2024 and early 2025. This consistent use indicates the vehicle is driven regularly, which is generally positive for preventing internal component seizure and seal degradation from long periods of standing. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the chassis and sub-frames. The records from 2022 and 2024 specifically highlight corrosion on the front and rear sub-frames, as well as the middle floor structure. While these were noted as not yet seriously weakened at the time, rust on this generation of Honda tends to progress rapidly. A physical inspection should check for deep pitting or thinning metal in these areas to ensure the structural integrity has not deteriorated beyond the advisory stage. The recurring uneven wear on the edges of the tyres indicates a likely persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. The buyer should examine the control arms, shock absorbers, and bushings for play that would cause such rapid tyre degradation. Given the history of ignoring tyre condition, the vehicle likely requires an immediate investment in new rubber and a professional alignment to ensure safety and stability.
