2008 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · SY08 XRG

The 2008 Honda CR-V presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 14 January 2026 at 95,106 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run across the prior four examinations. Mileage sits at 95,106 against an 18-year lifespan, equating to roughly 5,284 miles per year and indicating light use for the vehicle's age. Records show 86,715 miles on 13 February 2024, rising to 89,027 at the failed test on 1 November 2024, then 89,029 on the same-day pass, 93,151 by 22 April 2025, and 95,106 by January 2026. The gaps reflect low annual accumulation with no rapid spikes. The DVSA data is sparse and clean, showing only a single failure on 1 November 2024 that was reversed the same day with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or test-process anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points given the vehicle's age, focusing on chassis rails, subframes, and suspension mounting areas. The absence of advisories across all tests means no worn suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions issues were flagged, yet standing periods implied by low mileage can conceal perished rubber components and seized calipers not visible in the record. Verify the 1 November 2024 failure reason via the full DVSA certificate, as the supplied summary lists no defects for either that day's entries. Confirm tyre sidewall condition and underbody rust during a physical viewing before purchase.
