The 2017 Honda CR-V is substantially more reliable than the UK average, with a 91.5% first-time pass rate compared to 80% across all vehicles—and both petrol and diesel versions perform similarly well, at 92.2% and 91.0% respectively. The 16.1% dangerous defect rate is moderate rather than alarming, suggesting these are generally safe cars, though one in six will pick up a serious issue over time.
These CR-Vs are running at sensible mileages for their age (median 47,435 miles), and the low failure count of 0.67 per vehicle means most issues are minor wear items rather than structural problems. Check the service history carefully and budget for routine maintenance—the average of 5 advisories per test suggests standard consumables like brakes and filters—but don't expect major mechanical surprises with this model.
The 2017 Honda Cr V passes its MOT first time at roughly the UK average rate (91.5%) — solid but worth checking this vehicle's history carefully.
