2013 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · SC62 LVB

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of developing mechanical wear and structural degradation. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 125,732 miles passed with only an advisory for a worn nearside rear tyre, the preceding years reveal a pattern of deferred minor repairs. The transition from a clean record in 2022 to multiple defects in 2024 suggests a shift toward reactive rather than preventative maintenance. At 125,732 miles over 13 years, this CR-V averages approximately 9,670 miles per annum, which aligns with typical national averages for a vehicle of this age. The mileage shows consistent usage, with roughly 5,000 to 6,000 miles covered between each annual inspection. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which can often damage seals and components, but it also means the vehicle is subjected to standard operational wear on the suspension and braking systems. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the structural integrity of the front and rear sub-frames, as the 2024 test flagged widespread corrosion across both components. Although deemed not seriously weakened at that time, rust on Honda chassis of this era tends to accelerate if untreated. The buyer should also verify the front oil leak noted in October 2024 to ensure the leak has not progressed into a significant seep that could indicate deeper engine seal failure. The braking and suspension systems require close attention due to recurring issues. Records show a binding rear service brake in 2023 and pitted rear discs in 2021, followed by a slack parking brake adjuster advisory in 2024. Furthermore, the play noted in the nearside anti-roll bar linkage in 2024 and the repeated reports of uneven tyre wear suggest the suspension geometry and bushings may be nearing the end of their life. A thorough check of the braking mechanism and a road test are necessary to confirm if these faults have been properly rectified.
