2009 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · TH52 PTH

The most recent MOT test conducted on 11 November 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Reviewing the history back to 2021, the vehicle has maintained an exceptionally stable maintenance trend, passing five consecutive tests without a single recorded failure or advisory. This is an uncommon achievement for a vehicle of this age and strongly suggests a regime of consistent preventative maintenance and a high standard of overall vehicle care. With a recorded mileage of 112,829 miles over approximately 17 years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 6,637 miles per year. This usage rate is considered typical for a vehicle of this vintage, indicating it has been used regularly enough to avoid the pitfalls of prolonged standing while avoiding the excessive wear associated with high-mileage motorway use. Mechanically, the vehicle is in a phase where the primary concerns shift from usage-based wear to age-related degradation of rubber and fluid components. Given the clean MOT record, the buyer should focus on physical inspections that may not be captured by a standard test. It is essential to examine the tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or fine cracking, as tyres can degrade over time even if the tread depth remains legal. The brake discs should be inspected for surface corrosion or pitting, and the calipers checked for binding. A thorough check of the 12V battery health is advised, along with verifying that the engine oil and transmission fluids have been changed according to the manufacturer's calendar intervals rather than relying solely on mileage. During the test drive, pay close attention to the suspension bushes and coil springs for any clunks or knocks, as rubber components naturally perish over nearly two decades. Listen for any unusual drivetrain noises or vibrations that could indicate wear in the CV joints or differential. Finally, the buyer must verify the service history book for stamps confirming regular oil changes and the timing belt replacement interval if applicable to this specific engine variant, as a clean MOT record confirms roadworthiness but does not guarantee the internal mechanical health of the engine.
