2010 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · SH10 OGN

The vehicle currently sits in a state of concerning roadworthiness due to significant recent structural failures. While it passed the MOT on 30 January 2026 at 112,521 miles, this followed a catastrophic failure just eighteen days prior that revealed critical safety defects. The maintenance trend is worsening, moving from minor sensor faults and engine lights in previous years to severe structural corrosion. The presence of excessive corrosion on the outer sills and inner arches indicates that the vehicle is reaching a stage where the structural integrity is actively compromised. At 112,521 miles over 16 years, the vehicle averages approximately 7,000 miles per year, which is consistent with low-mileage patterns. However, the data shows a significant gap in testing between November 2020 and March 2023, during which the car covered only 4,100 miles. The recent surge of over 2,500 miles since early 2023 suggests a recent increase in use, which may have allowed deep-seated corrosion to progress to the point of the January structural failure. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underbody, specifically focusing on the jacking points and inner suspension arches flagged in the January 2026 test. The tester noted significant reductions in structural strength in these areas, which is a major concern that requires professional welding to rectify. The braking system also shows a history of neglect, with pitted and scored discs recorded across both front and rear in 2020, 2023, and 2026. The reported long brake pedal travel and fluctuating discs in the recent failure suggest master cylinder wear or warped rotors that may not have been fully addressed. The recurring engine fault messages and level sensor failures since 2020 indicate a history of electrical and mechanical faults that the owner frequently ignored. While the headlamp aim and washer fluid issues were likely rectified for the January pass, the underlying rust in the suspension mounting points remains a primary risk. This vehicle requires a specialist assessment to determine if the structural corrosion is beyond the economic cost of repair.
