Description
2002 Honda CR-V 2.0 petrol manual, showing 144,358 miles, with MOT until 16 May 2027.
I have owned this CR-V for approximately four to five years and am only selling because another car is arriving shortly. It has been a dependable and extremely practical car, always starting and never leaving me stranded during my ownership.
It is a genuine 23-year-old vehicle, not a pristine restoration, but the bodywork presents very well for its age. I previously worked as a vehicle detailer and have looked after the paintwork accordingly. There are normal age-related marks and signs of use, but it is considerably smarter than many CR-Vs of this age. The interior is also very clean, with the usual minor wear expected at this mileage.
The engine starts readily and runs smoothly, the manual gearbox selects cleanly, and everything inside the car works. It retains the original removable Honda picnic table in the boot.
Maintenance has included:
Recent catalytic converter, exhaust section and rear back box, following which it passed the emissions retest
Gearbox oil changed last year
Rear differential oil changed last year
Regular engine oil changes, generally twice yearly despite only covering around 5,000 miles most years
CV boots and various suspension components replaced when required
Previous brake-pipe work
Tyres replaced a couple of years ago
Service and maintenance file containing receipts and paperwork
It is fitted with a tow bar, front A-bar, side steps and a subtle suspension lift. Please note that the tow bar is sound but has some surface corrosion.
Also supplied with a large collection of unused steering and suspension components, originally purchased for a planned overhaul:
Two front lower control arms
Two suspension ball joints
Two inner tie rods or rack ends
Two outer tie rod ends
Front and rear anti-roll bar links
Anti-roll bar bushes
Various control-arm bushes
These were bought for a planned suspension refresh that I never found time to complete.
This is best suited to someone who appreciates older Hondas, wants a practical 4WD for carrying equipment, camping or road trips, or has the mechanical ability to work through the included parts. A clean, presentable and useful car with a long MOT and a considerable amount of maintenance behind it.
