2007 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · YR07 DPV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile despite a history of occasional immediate re-tests. The most recent MOT conducted on 21 November 2022 at 157,715 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle met the minimum safety standards at that time. While the record shows a failure on that same date, the subsequent pass suggests that any minor issues were identified and rectified immediately, rather than indicating a systemic failure or mechanical neglect. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a 19-year-old Honda, averaging approximately 8,300 miles annually. Between November 2020 and November 2021, the car covered 5,023 miles, followed by an additional 4,377 miles between late 2021 and late 2022. This steady usage suggests regular operation rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for maintaining seals and preventing brake components. However, because the last recorded test occurred over three and a half years ago, the current state of the vehicle's roadworthiness is unknown based solely on DVSA data. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the structural integrity and suspension components given the significant gap since the last test. Vehicles of this age and mileage are prone to corrosion on the rear subframe and exhaust-related mounting points. The inspector should specifically check for signs of perished rubber bushes and worn control arm joints, which often degrade at high mileage. Since no advisories were recorded in 2022, the condition of the brake discs and the depth of the tyres must be verified to ensure no rapid wear has occurred during the period of unrecorded use.
