2013 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · SM02 AAA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy and demonstrates a stable maintenance trend following a period of neglect. The most recent test in March 2026 at 84,761 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that previous mechanical concerns have been addressed. This follows a clean result in March 2025, suggesting that the current owner is maintaining a proactive approach to safety-critical repairs over the last two years. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-to-use profile, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per annum. Between March 2024 and March 2025, the vehicle covered 3,819 miles, while it clocked 5,912 miles in the final year leading up to the 2026 test. This steady usage prevents excessive wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though the low annual mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components due to age rather than friction-related wear. A physical inspection should focus on the suspension system, given the 2023 failure due to an excessively worn offside front lower anti-roll bar linkage. While the 2024 advisories regarding multiple tyres showing perishing and cuts were resolved before the subsequent test, the buyer should check the remaining rubber for further sidewall cracking, as the age of the vehicle makes dry rot likely regardless of tread depth. Additionally, an inspection of the chassis underbody is necessary to check for corrosion, which is a common failure point for vehicles of this era and age.
