Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2006 Honda Cr V I Ctdi Executive?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

This 2006 Honda CR-V diesel has a first-time pass rate of just 52.5%, well below the UK average of 80%, making it a notably unreliable proposition at MOT time. The good news is that dangerous defects are absent from this cohort, so failures tend to be fixable rather than safety-critical.

These cars are averaging 155,000 miles, which is typical wear for their age, yet they're still averaging 0.76 failures per test—suggesting mechanical issues aren't simply a mileage story. Before buying one, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on the diesel engine and transmission, as the low pass rate indicates these are where problems cluster.
