2017 Honda CR-V 1.6L Diesel · YR67 BVM

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 4 September 2025, but it carries an advisory for a severely deteriorated dust cover on the nearside lower anti-roll bar ball joint. With 59,688 miles recorded over roughly nine years, the car averages about 6,632 miles per year, which is typical for its age and suggests a pattern of regular, mixed use rather than severe stress or long periods of inactivity. The history shows a stable trend where the car clears major mechanical issues but accumulates standard wear items over time. In 2021, there were multiple advisories for tyre wear and damage, including both front tyres worn close to the legal limit on the edges and slight damage. Edge wear can sometimes indicate tracking or alignment issues, but the clean passes in 2022 and 2023 suggest these components were replaced and the car ran without issue for a couple of years. By 2024, the focus shifted to the rear brakes, with pads flagged as wearing thin and discs noted as worn. The absence of brake advisories in the 2025 test strongly suggests these parts were replaced, which is a positive sign of maintenance. The current advisory regarding the anti-roll bar dust cover is the main mechanical risk to monitor. This rubber boot protects the joint from dirt and water; if it fails, the joint itself can wear out quickly, leading to suspension play or knocking noises. Overall, the vehicle’s condition trend is stable and consistent with a car of this mileage, moving through predictable service cycles.
