What is the 2003 Honda CR-V life expectancy?

I have a 2003 Honda CR-V with over 175,000 miles on it, and it’s still running beautifully! What is the average life expectancy for a 2003 Honda CR-V?

Wow, that’s amazing! When it comes to reliable car brands, Honda is one of the top manufacturers. The 2003
Honda CR-V
average life expectancy varies depending on the driver but averages 250,000 to 300,000 miles. Based on driving 14,000 miles per year for the average American driver, this translates to between 16 and 20 years, making it one of the most dependable compact SUVs on the market.
If you’re looking to maximize the life expectancy of your Honda CR-V, following a
regular car maintenance schedule
is key, along with practicing good driving habits.
That means following Honda’s recommended maintenance schedule that includes regular:
  • Engine oil and filter changes
  • Tire rotations
  • Wipe blade changes
  • Fluid changes (transmission, window washer, coolant, power steering, etc.)
  • Belts
  • Ignition system
  • Brake pads and rotor replacement
Keeping your
Honda
running beyond 300,00 miles is also about driving correctly. If you want your CR-V to last, take it easy! Avoid hard acceleration and braking, stick to the speed limit, use cruise control, and the like. Also, keep your car clean (inside and out) to avoid rusting!
