Honda Cr V (2006)
2006 Honda Cr V
CarHunch analysed 15,384 real MOT records for the 2006 Honda Cr V. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2006 Honda CR-V passes its MOT 3.2 percentage points below the UK average at 76.8%, which is a modest shortfall—but nearly half of these vehicles (46.5%) have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, making this a genuine concern for safety-conscious buyers. Petrol versions hold a slight edge over diesel at 77.8% versus 76.1% pass rate, though the difference is marginal.
At nearly 94,500 miles on average, these CR-Vs show typical wear for their age, yet they're racking up an average of 4.7 failures and 28.7 advisories per test. This suggests widespread minor issues rather than catastrophic problems—expect brake wear, suspension play, and emissions hiccups—so budget for regular maintenance and get a pre-purchase inspection that specifically flags any history of dangerous defects before committing.
Petrol vs Diesel
Pass rate difference of 1.7 percentage points — worth knowing if you're choosing between the two.
What to check before buying a 2006 Honda Cr V
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- ⚠️ 46.5% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
