2013 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · VJ02 GPJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, following a clean MOT pass in December 2025 at 170,711 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a period of reactive repair rather than proactive care. In February 2025, the car failed the test due to four worn tyres, thin front brake pads, and an inoperative engine Malfunction Indicator Lamp. While the vehicle subsequently passed a retest that same day, the initial failure indicates that the owner only addressed these critical safety and diagnostic issues when legally required. At 13 years old, the 170,711 miles recorded represents a high usage profile of approximately 13,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual use, with 3,309 miles covered between January 2024 and February 2025, and another 520 miles leading into the December 2025 test. This high mileage puts significant stress on the heavy-duty components, particularly the suspension and braking system, which have already shown signs of advanced wear in the recorded history. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension thoroughly, as the January 2024 test flagged a worn offside front suspension arm bush and a misting offside rear shock absorber. These issues often evolve into costly replacements on high mileage Honda models. The braking system also requires close attention; the 2022 record noted pitted front discs, and the 2025 failure for thin pads suggests the entire hardware is nearing the end of its service life. Given the previous MIL lamp failure in 2025, verify that the engine management system is functioning correctly to ensure no hidden engine faults remain present.
