2011 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · YP61 PJJ

The 2011 Honda CR-V presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 14 April 2025 at 42,487 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior passes from 2022 to 2024 also logged clean sheets. The single failure on 23 April 2024 at 40,852 miles carries no recorded defects, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault-driven stop. Recorded mileage sits at 42,487 against an August 2011 build, averaging roughly 2,832 miles per year. The car covered only 1,696 miles between the August 2022 test at 39,050 miles and the August 2023 test at 40,156 miles, then 696 miles to April 2024 and a further 1,635 miles to April 2025. Such low, evenly spaced annual use over fifteen years suggests extended standing periods rather than sustained motorway wear, with no rapid accumulation or suspicious gaps in the DVSA timeline. A clean MOT sequence with zero advisories means the tester raised no concerns on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions at any stage. The buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody structural integrity and brake caliper condition, as long dormant intervals invite seized handbrake mechanisms and surface rust the annual test may not capture on a briefly driven vehicle. The defect-free history implies previous owners kept basic consumables and structural items within test limits, though the 2024 failure with no defects points to a paperwork or presentation issue at the testing station. Given the low mileage and absent advisories, this CR-V shows no worsening mechanical trend and remains a sound used purchase subject to a confirming in-person check.
