This 2008 CR-V diesel struggles at the MOT: a 68.5% first-time pass rate sits well below the UK average of 80%, meaning roughly one in three fail their test. The good news is that dangerous defects are absent from this cohort, so failures tend to be fixable rather than safety-critical issues.
With a median mileage of 142,386 miles, these vehicles are well-used but typical for their age, and the low advisory count (0.0 per vehicle) suggests the diesel engine itself is holding up reasonably well despite the high failure rate—most issues are probably wear items like brakes and suspension that accumulate with age. Before buying, run a full pre-purchase inspection focusing on the diesel engine's service history and recent MOT patterns, as inconsistent passes can signal recurring problems rather than one-off fixes.
