2014 Honda Crf

CarHunch analysed 693 real MOT records for the 2014 Honda Crf. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2014 Honda CRF passes its MOT on the first attempt 91% of the time, well above the UK average of 80%, which signals strong overall reliability and good build quality. Only 10% of these vehicles have ever recorded a dangerous defect, a reassuring figure that puts it in the safer category for buyers.

These CRFs are running very low mileage for their age—a median of just 3,504 miles—which suggests they're rarely used, so real-world durability on daily driving remains unproven. With fewer than 0.7 failures per vehicle and 2.5 advisories on average, owners face minimal repair bills, though you should budget for routine maintenance items flagged in advisories when you do buy one.

What to check before buying a 2014 Honda Crf

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.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
