2003 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · WL52 WHP

The vehicle is currently rated as roadworthy, but the MOT history reveals a clear pattern of instability rather than a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2025-06-23 was a failure of the offside stop lamp, a defect that has persisted since that date. This indicates that the system is not functioning correctly and requires immediate attention, suggesting that any previous inspections were likely insufficient to catch this specific failure mode. Regarding the mileage context, the vehicle is only 23 years old with 109,500 miles, which is exceptionally low for its age class. This disparity suggests that the owner may have maintained the car lightly or there may have been significant gaps in recorded usage. The lack of any data gaps in the 109,500-mile test indicates that the vehicle has been driven for a very long period, which typically accelerates wear on suspension components, brakes, and drivetrain parts. Given the recurring failure of the stop lamp and the structural damage to the rear brake disc, a buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to assess the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as well as the binding calipers and brake discs. The history suggests that the brakes have been inspected repeatedly but have failed, indicating that the mechanical integrity of the braking system is compromised and that the vehicle requires immediate professional servicing.
