2013 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · YX63 WRD

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than preventative repairs. The most recent test in December 2025 at 116,378 miles resulted in a pass despite advisories regarding a damaged windscreen and a worn nearside front tyre. While the vehicle has consistently passed its inspections, the recurring nature of suspension-related advisories suggests that components are only addressed once they approach the threshold of an MOT failure. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. Between December 2021 at 66,610 miles and December 2023 at 98,349 miles, the car covered 31,739 miles, showing a steady rate of use. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary deactivation, which is generally beneficial for the integrity of rubber seals and fluids within the Honda system. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension geometry and rubber components. Between 2021 and 2022, the tester flagged all four anti-roll bar linkage ball joints with slight play, and by 2023, an offside front suspension arm bush and a nearside rear anti-roll bar ball joint also showed wear. These indicate a systemic wear pattern across the lower assembly. The persistent note regarding undertrays not allowing a full inspection in both 2024 and 2025 is a significant concern, as it masks potential structural corrosion or fluid leaks on the chassis from the tester, preventing a definitive assessment of the vehicle's structural integrity.
