2007 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · SO57 ABX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a positive maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted in February 2025 at 145,031 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle currently meets minimum safety standards. While a failure occurred in early February 2024, the immediate rectification and subsequent pass just three days later suggests the owner is proactive in addressing MOT-related failures rather than allowing structural or mechanical faults to persist. At 19 years old, the CR-V shows consistent usage patterns averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a family SUV. The record shows a steady progression in mileage, moving from 102,823 miles in January 2022 to 116,955 miles in early 2023, and finally reaching 145,031 miles by early 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which generally benefits the condition of seals and fluid systems. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components common to vehicles of this age and mileage, despite the clean MOT history. Given the 145,000-mile mark, close attention to the suspension arm bushes, ball joints, and coil springs is necessary as these often degrade before triggering an MOT failure. The chassis should also be inspected for structural corrosion on the rear sills and subframe, as the MOT tester only identifies rust once it has compromised structural integrity.
