2014 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · SY14 PJV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the MOT history reveals a concerning trend of worsening corrosion across key structural components. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 104,994 miles passed, the tester flagged general underbody corrosion. This follows a pattern of escalating issues noted in 2024 and 2025 involving the rear subframe and suspension spring mountings. Although the structural rigidity remains intact, the progression of oxidation is evident. The mileage profile is consistent with a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,750 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, with roughly 7,500 miles covered between February 2024 and March 2025, and another 7,845 miles between March 2025 and March 2026. This regular interval suggests the car has been used consistently, which keeps mechanical components active rather than suffering from the degradation of seals often associated with long periods of standing. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underbody to assess the depth of the corrosion on the rear subframe and spring mountings. The 2025 test also identified a minor exhaust leak in the engine bay and play in the nearside rear anti-roll bar linkage, which should be checked for signs of wear. Additionally, the recurring emissions warning light noted since at least 2023 indicates an unaddressed sensor fault or engine issue that has not been rectified by previous owners, requiring a diagnostic scan to identify the specific fault code.
