2013 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · YK63 FFC

The 2013 Honda CR-V presents a stable and well-maintained roadworthiness profile, culminating in a clean pass on 13 November 2025 at 151,726 miles with zero defects recorded. This is a strong indicator that the vehicle has been kept in good mechanical order during its most recent ownership period. The maintenance trend is broadly improving, as the minor defects noted in the 2024 test appear to have been addressed before the 2025 re-test, suggesting attentive rather than reactive upkeep. The mileage accumulation of roughly 11,671 miles per year is entirely typical for a vehicle of this age and does not raise concerns about excessive use or prolonged standing. The annual increments between tests are consistent, moving from 109,408 miles in October 2021 to 123,010 in November 2022, then 135,969 in November 2023, 142,978 in November 2024, and finally 151,726 in November 2025. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer record that would suggest clocking or extended periods of disuse. The 2024 test at 142,978 miles flagged three minor advisories: an inoperative nearside registration plate lamp, a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit, and a nearside front service brake binding but not excessively. All three were resolved before the 2025 test, which is encouraging. The binding front brake in particular warranted attention, as a dragging caliper can accelerate wear on both the brake disc and pad, increase fuel consumption, and cause uneven braking. A prospective buyer should inspect the nearside front brake assembly for signs of uneven pad thickness, scored or lipped discs, and check that the caliper slides and pistons retract freely. The tyre wear pattern noted on the nearside front in 2024, described as worn on the edge, may point to a minor alignment or suspension geometry issue. It would be prudent to check the condition of the front suspension bushes, track rod ends, and wishbone joints, and to verify that the current tyre set wears evenly across the tread face. Beyond the flagged items, the CR-V's age and mileage mean that structural rust, particularly around the rear subframe, sills, and inner wing arches, should be inspected carefully. Exhaust condition and emissions compliance have remained clean through the record, which is a positive sign for engine health. The registration plate lamp faults in 2022 and 2024 are trivial electrical issues and do not indicate deeper wiring concerns. Overall, this is a vehicle with a transparent and largely trouble-free MOT history that reflects consistent annual maintenance rather than deferred repairs.
