2012 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · SW12 ADV

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status following a clean MOT pass on 10 July 2025 at 107,348 miles. This result indicates that the mechanical and safety concerns identified in previous inspections have been successfully rectified. While the history shows failures in both 2024 and 2025, the lack of advisories on the most recent certificate suggests the current owner is proactive in addressing identified defects to ensure the vehicle meets the minimum legal standards. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-use profile, averaging approximately 7,668 miles per year over its fourteen-year life. Between the June 2023 test at 98,368 miles and the July 2025 test at 107,348 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 9,000 miles. This steady accumulation suggests the car has not been subjected to heavy motorway stress, which typically preserves drivetrain components compared to high-mileage examples, though the age of the vehicle increases the likelihood of age-related degradation in rubber components and fluid seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific areas that caused the recent failures in 2024 and 2025, as the provided record does not detail the exact nature of those defects. Given the age of this Honda CR-V, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and rear subframe is essential, as these are common failure points for this generation. Additionally, inspect the suspension bushes for signs of per and check the brake calipers for binding, as low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from brake seizing and perished rubber over time.
