2008 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · WN08 YMH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having maintained a clean testing record for the last four years. The most recent test on 25 October 2022 at 177,580 miles resulted in a pass without any defects or advisories. This indicates that since the mechanical failure in April 2019, the owner has maintained the vehicle to a standard that meets the minimum safety and environmental requirements. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. Between November 2020 and October 2022, the car covered 6,544 miles, showing a steady rate of operation. However, there is now a significant gap since the last recorded MOT in October 2022. As of June 2026, the vehicle is nearly four years overdue for its annual inspection, which significantly increases the risk of undetected degradation in rubber components, fluid leaks, or structural corrosion not captured in the previous tests. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking components, which frequently fail on high-mileage CR-Vs. While the history shows no recent advisories, the high mileage of 177,580 miles suggests that suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers may be nearing the end of their functional life. Check for rust on the sills and exhaust mounting points, as these are prone to corrosion over time. Given the long lapse since the last MOT, a thorough check of brake caliper condition and tyre surface integrity is essential to ensure no significant issues have developed during the period of inactivity or infrequent use.
