2010 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · SL60 KXZ

The vehicle is in a concerning state with a clearly worsening maintenance trend regarding structural integrity. While it passed its latest MOT in May 2026 at 133,104 miles, this result followed a comprehensive failure just three weeks prior at 79 miles lower. The transition from "not seriously weakened" subframes to "heavily corroded" subframes within one year indicates rapid acceleration of rust decay. The presence of old sill repairs and emerging underbody corrosion suggests that the vehicle is reaching the end of its structural life. The recorded mileage of 133,104 miles over 16 years averages to approximately 8,300 miles per year, which is consistent with typical annual usage for this age. However, the interval between the April 2025 test at 126,606 miles and the April 2026 test at 133,025 miles shows an accumulation of roughly 7,000 miles. During this period, the mechanical condition deteriorated significantly, moving from minor advisories to multiple major failures across the suspension, exhaust, and emissions test systems. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis, specifically focusing on the inner and outer sills and suspension mounting points. The 2026 failure highlighted excessive corrosion in the mounting areas that reduces structural strength, which is a critical safety risk regardless of recent repairs. The history also shows recurring issues with suspension components, including worn ball joints, split CV boots, and leaking shock absorbers, which suggest a lack of preventative maintenance. The report of an inoperative MIL and ABS faults in the April 2026 failure also indicates electrical issues that must be verified as fully resolved.
