2013 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · WN63 AAU

The most recent MOT test conducted on 13 April 2026 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. Reviewing the longitudinal history from 2018 onwards, the vehicle has maintained a remarkably consistent and clean record, showing no failures or advisories over the last eight years. This indicates a stable and disciplined maintenance regime, suggesting that the vehicle has been well-cared for and that any mechanical issues were likely addressed privately before they could manifest as MOT failures. The recorded mileage of 167,742 miles reflects an average annual usage of approximately 12,903 miles. This is relatively high for a vehicle of this age, indicating consistent, heavy road use rather than infrequent or sporadic driving. While regular usage is often beneficial for preventing component seizure and maintaining seal integrity, the high total mileage means the vehicle is entering a phase where mechanical wear on consumables is more pronounced. You should anticipate that components such as the drivetrain, exhaust system, and various suspension elements are approaching the latter stages of their operational lifespan. Since the MOT history is entirely devoid of advisories, your physical inspection should focus on high-mileage wear and age-related degradation that may not yet be visible to an MOT tester. During your test drive, pay close attention to the suspension and steering. Listen for any dull thuds or metallic clunks when driving over speed bumps or uneven road surfaces, which could signal worn coil springs, degraded shock absorbers, or perished suspension bushes. Additionally, test the braking performance by checking for any pedal pulsation or shuddering under deceleration, which could indicate warped brake discs or sticking calipers. You must also inspect the condition of all rubber components and fluids. Check the tyres for sidewall cracking or perishing, as age can compromise the structural integrity of the rubber regardless of tread depth. Given the high mileage, it is essential to verify the service book to ensure that time-based maintenance, such as brake fluid flushes and coolant replacements, has been carried out alongside mileage-based services. Finally, inspect the engine bay for any signs of weeping from gaskets or hoses and check the battery's terminal condition, as high-use vehicles can place significant demand on the electrical system.
