Our Verdict
Exercise extreme caution. The MOT histor
The primary concern is the February 2026 MOT failure, which cited excessive corrosion seriously affecting the strength of the offside rear chassis. You must verify exactly how this was repaired; look for professional welding and avoid vehicles with superficial 'patch-up' jobs. Ensure you have invoices for these structural repairs.
Given the recurring issues with brake pipes and the previous failure of both front and rear anti-roll bars in 2025, a comprehensive underbody inspection is essential. Negotiate the price downward to account for the inevitable ongoing maintenance required to manage the corrosion on the rear sub-frame and brake lines.
As a 2.2L diesel from 2005, this vehicle will attract higher road tax than modern equivalents and falls into a mid-range insurance group for SUVs. Fuel economy is typical for a diesel of this era, though maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average due to the age of the vehicle and the documented corrosion issues.
Expected annual costs will include the higher tax bracket for older diesels and the need for frequent underside inspections and preventative corrosion treatment. Typical maintenance for a 20-year-old CR-V involves replacing worn suspension components and brake lines.
Focus your inspection on the underbody. Specifically, check the offside rear inner and outer vehicle structure and the rear sub-frame, as these were flagged for excessive corrosion and weakness in February 2026. Examine the brake pipes on both the nearside and offside rear, which have been recorded as corroded since February 2025.
Additionally, check the front tyres and the offside front suspension arm ball joint, both of which were noted as worn or having play in the March 2026 test. Ensure the anti-roll bars have been properly replaced following the fractures recorded in 2025.
This blue 2005 Honda CR-V 2.2L diesel has covered 130,148 miles. While it currently holds a valid MOT, the records show a concerning pattern of structural deterioration, including excessive chassis corrosion and fractured anti-roll bars. The vehicle's value is heavily impacted by these recurring structural and corrosion-related failures.
The CR-V has a respectable average MOT pass rate of 82.4%, though brake pipe corrosion is a known common failure point across the model range.
