Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Potential buyers should focus heavily on the corrosion noted in the June 2026 MOT. Because the sub-frame and rear suspension are listed as corroded, a professional inspection is recommended to ensure the structural integrity is not compromised. You should also use the numerous suspension advisories—including the anti-roll bar linkage and lower suspension arm ball joints—as leverage for price negotiations, as these will likely require replacement soon.
Verify the service history for this 2.2L diesel engine, paying close attention to oil change intervals and any evidence of timing belt replacement. Given the high mileage, ensure there is a clear record of maintenance to mitigate the risks associated with a high-mileage diesel powertrain.
The 2.2L diesel engine offers a balance of torque and fuel economy suitable for a vehicle of this size, though it will sit in a higher tax bracket than smaller petrol alternatives. Insurance costs for the CR-V are typically moderate, but the high mileage may influence premiums.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average for this specific vehicle due to the current state of the suspension and the presence of corrosion. Between fuel, tax, insurance, and the anticipated repairs for the items flagged in the latest MOT, annual expenditure will be significant.
Prioritise an inspection of the underside of the vehicle. Specifically, look for the corrosion on the sub-frame and rear suspension mentioned in the 2026 MOT. Check the front anti-roll bar linkages and the offside front lower suspension arm ball joint for the 'slight play' recorded during the last test.
Additionally, inspect the tyres; the MOT history explicitly mentions damaged front tyres and a perishing offside rear tyre. Check the rear brake discs for the pitting and scoring noted in the latest report, and ensure the headlamp lenses are clear and functional, as they were flagged as slightly defective.
This black 2007 Honda CR-V 2.2L diesel has covered 169,952 miles, which is above the average for its age. The MOT history shows a failure in April 2024 related to brakes and exhaust corrosion, followed by a June 2026 pass that contains a wide array of advisories. These advisories specifically highlight corrosion on the sub-frame and rear suspension, alongside various worn suspension components.
The CR-V is generally regarded as a sturdy model, though aggregate data for over 229,000 vehicles confirms that ball joints, headlamps, and corrosion are common failure points.
