Moderate sample. 319 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.
This 2008 CR-V diesel struggles slightly below the UK average, with a 72.3% first-time pass rate versus 80% nationally—meaning roughly one in four fail their MOT on the first attempt. The good news is that dangerous defects are essentially non-existent in this cohort, so safety-critical failures aren't a concern here.
At 139,000 miles median, these vehicles are well-used but typical for their age, and the average 1.23 failures per MOT suggest wear-related issues rather than fundamental design problems. Check service history carefully when viewing one for sale, and budget for suspension or exhaust work—the actual failure patterns will tell you whether you're looking at routine maintenance or something more serious.
The 2008 Honda Cr V Es I Ctdi passes its MOT first time at roughly the UK average rate (82.1%) — solid but worth checking this vehicle's history carefully.
