2014 Honda CR-V White Edition I-Dtec 2.2L Diesel · SC63 XDF

The most recent MOT, carried out on 22 June 2026, was passed with no recorded defects, continuing an unblemished five‑year record of successful tests. This uninterrupted succession of clean results indicates a stable maintenance regime, with no evidence of emerging fault trends or deteriorating components over the past twelve months. The consistency suggests that the current owner has adhered to the prescribed service intervals and that any wear items have been addressed before reaching the point of failure. At 86,268 miles on the odometer, the vehicle averages just over 7,000 miles per year since its 2014 registration, which sits comfortably within the typical usage envelope for a family SUV of this age. The mileage is neither excessively high nor unusually low, implying a balanced pattern of use that is unlikely to have accelerated premature wear on major drivetrain or structural elements. There are no conspicuous gaps in the recorded mileage that would suggest prolonged periods of storage, which can sometimes mask corrosion or battery degradation, nor is there a rapid accumulation that would raise concerns about accelerated component fatigue. For a prospective buyer, a visual and tactile inspection of the tyre sidewalls is essential; after twelve years, rubber can harden and develop cracks even on relatively low‑mileage tyres, leading to reduced grip and potential failure. Verify that the tread depth is uniform across all four wheels and that there is no evidence of uneven wear that could point to misaligned suspension or worn steering components. Examine the suspension bushings, ball joints and shock absorbers for any signs of oil leakage, cracking or excessive play, as ageing elastomers can deteriorate and produce clunking noises over bumps. While the MOT has not flagged any brake issues, inspect the brake discs for surface rust, scoring or glazing, and ensure the pads retain adequate thickness; binding calipers are a common symptom in vehicles that have spent extended periods idle. Given the vehicle’s age, assess the health of the 12‑volt battery and the condition of all fluid reservoirs. A battery that has been idle for long stretches may exhibit reduced cranking power and should be tested for voltage and capacity. Check the engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and transmission fluid for correct levels, colour and any signs of contamination; fluids degrade over time even when mileage is modest, and stale brake fluid can affect pedal feel and corrosion resistance. Finally, request a full service history and look for evidence of regular oil changes, timing‑belt or chain service (if applicable), and any documented replacement of wear items such as spark plugs, air filter and fuel filter, as these records will give further confidence in the vehicle’s long‑term reliability.
