Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to high mileage
When inspecting this CR-V, pay close attention to the steering and suspension. The MOT history shows a recurring theme of damaged or deteriorated dust covers on track rod ends dating back to 2023. You should check if these components have been fully replaced rather than just having the covers addressed, as repeated failures in this area suggest frequent wear.
Negotiate based on the high mileage, which is well above the annual average for this model. Ensure you request a full service history to see if the 1.6L diesel engine has been maintained according to manufacturer intervals, particularly regarding the timing chain and fuel system. Given the recent tyre issues in April 2025, check the current tread depth and condition of all four tyres.
As a 1597cc diesel, this CR-V is designed for higher mileage efficiency, though actual costs will depend on driving style. It will likely fall into a moderate insurance group typical for a family SUV of this size.
Maintenance costs may be influenced by the suspension components seen in the MOT history. Expect typical diesel maintenance costs, including periodic oil changes and potential DPF considerations. Estimated annual running costs are roughly £1,400-£1,700, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and anticipated maintenance.
Focus your inspection on the front suspension and steering assembly. The MOT record specifically highlights issues with track rod end ball joint dust covers (2.1.3 (g) (i)) and anti-roll bar ball joint dust covers (5.3.4 (b) (ii)). Test the vehicle on a test drive to listen for any knocking or clunking sounds from the front end which could indicate worn joints.
Additionally, inspect the tyres. The April 2025 MOT recorded both nearside and offside front tyres being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edge. Check for uneven tyre wear, which could suggest an alignment issue stemming from the previously noted track rod end problems.
This 2015 Honda CR-V is a 1.6L diesel model with 99,994 miles recorded at its last MOT in September 2025. The vehicle has covered significantly more than the model average of 7,010 miles per year. MOT history shows repeated advisories and failures related to track rod ends and anti-roll bar dust covers, alongside recent tyre wear issues.
The aggregate data for this model shows an 82.6% MOT pass rate, with common failures involving headlamps, tyres, and anti-roll bars.
