An American Honda CR-V usually lasts between 100,000 and 150,000 miles, which typically translates to around 10 years. To maximize your vehicle's longevity, it's crucial to keep up with regular maintenance tasks every 6 to 12 months or every 5,000 to 10,000 miles. This includes monitoring and replacing important fluids, changing the oil, and ensuring filters are not clogged or worn out. Additionally, routine tasks such as tire rotations, checking tire pressure, and maintaining components like spark plugs and timing belts are essential for optimal performance.

    Our Honda CRV has traveled 317,000 miles, and we have only had to do regular maintenance; we haven't needed any significant repairs.

    I own a 2009 Honda CRV and recently had to get the air conditioner compressor replaced. However, since then, the belt has slipped three times despite efforts to fix it by tightening pulleys and other adjustments. It keeps failing. What should I do next?

    I've put more than 330,000 miles on my brand new 2008 CRV. I've kept up with regular maintenance like oil changes, brake and tire replacements, and only had to change the battery once. Lately, I had to replace the AC compressor, alternator, and power steering compressor because they started making noises due to wear after hitting 300,000 miles. I drive 112 miles each day during my daily commute. Despite all this, my CRV has been a reliable and trustworthy car! I'm excited to see how much farther it can go.

    I had to switch out the air conditioning compressor in my 2009 Honda CRV. Since then, I've quickly gone through three serpentine belts. No one has been able to determine the root cause of the issue. Can you help me with this problem?

    I own a 2000 Honda CR-V up here in Alaska that I got for $1,200. It's a fantastic vehicle for handling the snow, and I can pack a lot of stuff in it for moving. Plus, it's very fuel-efficient. With 278,000 miles on it, I've done some maintenance like replacing the shocks, rear brakes, and getting new all-weather tires. Recently, I had to change the spark plugs and ignition coil, but luckily I have a friend who can help me do the work affordably. I've spent around $1,000 on parts and labor over the past two years that I've been driving it. It's definitely saved me money compared to buying a new car. The engine still runs smoothly, and even a mechanic commented on how good it sounds for an older car with high mileage. I'm a big fan of Honda!

    What transmission maintenance is required with B service?

  • Christopher E.

    We regularly see CRV models from 2000 to 2006 at our dealership for repairs, often with mileage between 300,000 and 350,000 miles. Despite the high mileage, they never appear worn out unless there is an issue with the muffler or catalytic converter.

    My 2008 Honda CRV has racked up a whopping 331,000 miles and is still chugging along like a champ. It did have a few minor electrical glitches, but a little battery TLC sorted that out. The CD player can be a bit finicky, but I mostly rely on Bluetooth with my phone, so it's not a big deal. One annoyance is the noisy lock, which seems to be a common quirk among older CRVs.

    I drive a 1998 Honda CRV with 550,000 kilometers on it, and when I took it to the mechanic for service, they were impressed by how well it sounded considering the high mileage. However, they also noted that it was guzzling a lot of gas.

    With consistent upkeep, your Honda CR-V is likely to endure for a remarkable 250,000 miles.

  • Brett B

    I have driven my 1999 Honda CR-V EX with a manual transmission for 370,000 miles since I bought it new in Minnesota. The clutch and transmission are still the originals, and although there's a bit of rust starting to show, it has been well taken care of. My sister also bought the same model the next month, and hers only has half the mileage of mine and still looks brand new, thanks to the minimal snow in her area.

  • Richard Y.

    I currently have 257,000 miles on my CR-V and it's performing well. I have been consistent with regular maintenance such as oil changes and a transmission flush and fill at 30,000 miles. My goal is to keep it going strong past 350,000 miles!

    My father's 2009 Honda CR-V has clocked over 1.5 million kilometers and is still running smoothly, showing that these vehicles are pretty much indestructible.

  • Roy Garcia

    I drive a 2011 CRV that has almost hit 200,000 miles. The only problems I've had were the AC and airbags needing replacement due to recall issues. I make sure to keep up with the scheduled maintenance outlined in the owner's manual.

    I drive a 2016 Honda CR-V with 184,000 miles on it. It's running smoothly, and I've been diligent about maintenance. I've already changed the shocks once, replaced the spark plugs twice, got a new battery, and installed a Serpentine Belt. Recently, I had my first brake job done. I make sure to only use regular gas, not ethanol. I'm confident that I can reach 300,000 miles or more with this SUV.

    I own a 2017 CR-V with 76,000 miles on it, and it's been fantastic so far! I'm a big fan of Honda, but I have some concerns about the longevity of the turbocharger past 100,000 miles. That's probably why some people suggest it could last up to 150,000 miles. Back in 2010, I sold my 2004 Civic with 177,000 miles on it, and it's still running today. It's clear that naturally aspirated engines can stand the test of time if maintained properly. I've owned four Hondas without any issues, but Toyota outshines them in reliability due to Honda embracing turbocharging. While Honda engines are top-notch, I do wish they would shift back to naturally aspirated engines.

    My 2006 CRV has 225,000 miles and still runs like a champ, but the air conditioning isn't working, and the struts might need replacing. It's a dependable vehicle for daily use, despite these issues.

    We have driven more than 255,000 miles on our vehicle. We have recently changed the A/C compressor, the pulley tensioner, and the power steering line. Although the front struts need replacing, the car is still in great running condition! The engine and transmission appear to have excellent longevity.
