2013 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · V5 LTO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clear improving trend following a period of recorded mechanical neglect. The most recent test in January 2026 at 68,315 miles passed without advisories, although a nearside rear child seat obstructed a full inspection of the adult seat belt. This represents a significant improvement over the January 2024 test, which indicated that the previous owner successfully addressed multiple mechanical defects identified during that earlier inspection cycle. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 68,315 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 5,255 miles per year. This low usage pattern typically results in less wear on drivetrain components, yet it can lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts due to age. Between October 2022 and January 2024, the vehicle covered 7,421 miles, while the most recent interval saw 5,024 miles covered over fifteen months. This consistent low mileage suggests regular, short-distance use rather than long periods of abandonment. A buyer should specifically inspect the suspension and braking system based on the 2024 failures. The previous failure of the offside front lower anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover indicates that rubber components are prone to drying and cracking despite the low mileage. Additionally, the 2024 record noted worn front brake discs and a requirement for parking brake adjustment. While these appear to have been rectified, a physical inspection is necessary to ensure the parking brake remains properly binding and that the brake calipers have not seized from inactivity. Given the age of the vehicle, checking the chassis for structural corrosion is also advisable, as low-mileage cars are not immune to natural oxidation over a decade.
