2015 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · ST15 CMO

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean records to early-stage component wear. The most recent test in September 2025 at 40,317 miles introduced multiple advisories related to front suspension arm bushes and brake hose corrosion. While the vehicle passed, the appearance of these defects after years of clean results suggests rubber and metal components are beginning to succumb to age-related degradation despite the low overall mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old Honda, averaging approximately 3,665 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between March 2023 and April 2024, where the car covered only 83 miles, followed by a more active period where 3,500 miles were covered in a 13-month span. This intermittent usage pattern often leads to dry rot in rubber components and oxidation of brake surfaces, which aligns with the thinning of the rear brake pads noted in the April 2024 test. A buyer should physically inspect the front suspension for excessive play in the lower arm bushes, as the 2025 tester flagged wear on both the nearside and offside sides. The corrosion on the brake hose ferrules across all three corners requires close attention to ensure the hoses are not becoming brittle or prone to leaking. Given the low annual mileage, the inspector should also check for seized brake calipers or perished tyres, which are common issues for vehicles that sit stationary for long periods.
