2013 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · W444 ACB

A generally stable roadworthiness record is evident, although the vehicle has encountered specific suspension wear over the last few years. While it passed its most recent test on 27 May 2026, the history reveals a trend of front-end component degradation, highlighted by a 2024 failure involving a leaking nearside front shock absorber and a worn offside front anti-roll bar linkage, following a 2022 advisory for play in the offside rear anti-roll bar linkage. The recorded mileage of 67,995 miles over a 13-year period indicates a low annual average of approximately 5,230 miles. This usage pattern suggests the vehicle has experienced long periods of standing or very light use. Mechanically, such a profile can lead to the premature degradation of rubber seals and suspension components, which is consistent with the recorded failure of the shock absorber and the wear noted in the anti-roll bar linkages. Current inspection focus should be directed toward the braking system following the advisory for worn front brake discs in May 2026. During a test drive, the buyer should be alert for any pedal judder or steering wheel vibration during deceleration, which would indicate the discs have reached a state of wear that affects braking stability. Given the history of suspension linkage failures and shock absorber leaks, the vehicle should be carefully monitored for chassis noise. Listen for knocks or clunks when navigating speed bumps or uneven surfaces, as these symptoms often point to further wear in the anti-roll bar linkages or suspension bushes. The steering should be checked for any excessive play or lack of precision, ensuring that the previous repairs to the front-end linkages have remained effective.
