Honda Cr V (2007)
2007 Honda Cr V
CarHunch analysed 20,821 real MOT records for the 2007 Honda Cr V. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2007 Honda CR-V falls slightly short of the UK average with a 78.4% first-time pass rate, and there's a significant concern here: 43.4% of these vehicles have recorded at least one dangerous defect during their MOT history. Petrol and diesel versions perform nearly identically (78.8% and 78.1% pass rates respectively), so fuel choice won't meaningfully affect reliability expectations.
These CR-Vs are running at a median of 100,265 miles—exactly what you'd expect for a 17-year-old vehicle—yet they're accumulating an average of 4.15 failures and 26.8 advisories per test, suggesting wear-related issues compound quickly once problems start. If you're considering one, get a full pre-purchase inspection focused on suspension, brakes, and steering components, since the high dangerous-defect rate points to structural and safety system degradation rather than minor niggles.
What to check before buying a 2007 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.
- ⚠️ 43.4% 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.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
