Vehicle Specifications
Description
Boasting an impressive service history and only two previous owners, this 2016 Honda CR-V i-DTEC EX presents a compelling proposition for discerning buyers. This Euro 6 compliant, four wheel drive model is powered by an efficient 1.6 litre diesel engine, offering a remarkable 55 miles per gallon. Its EX trim level ensures a premium experience, featuring an 8 way power adjustable driver's seat with memory function, smart keyless entry and start, and heated front seats for added comfort.
Parking is made effortless with front and rear parking sensors, while the panoramic glass roof floods the cabin with natural light. This CR-V stands out with its low mileage of just 77,385 miles for its age, coupled with a clear vehicle history check, underscoring its excellent condition. The generous boot space makes it incredibly practical for families and adventurers alike.
Furthermore, its low CO2 emissions highlight its efficiency and environmental consideration compared to many other vehicles in its class.
About the Honda Cr-V
The Honda CR-V remains a cornerstone of the British family SUV market, renowned for its legendary reliability and cavernous interior. Now in its sixth generation, it continues to offer a refined driving experience, particularly for those prioritising safety and practical cabin layouts over sporty dynamics.
Why Buy a Used Honda CR-V?
- Vast internal space with a 'magic seat' philosophy that provides class-leading legroom and a flat loading bay.
- Exceptional reliability records and strong resale values via the UK used market.
- High standard safety specification ensuring low insurance groups and peace of mind for families.
- Hybrid powertrains in newer models offer excellent fuel efficiency and full ULEZ compliance for city driving.
Typical Price Range
All prices are approximate.
- 2012–2018 (Mk4): £6,500 – £15,000 — The 1.6 i-DTEC diesel is a motorway favourite; ensure the V5C confirms Euro 6 status for later models to avoid ULEZ charges.
- 2018–2023 (Mk5): £16,500 – £29,000 — Introduced the self-charging i-MMD hybrid system; look for 'SR' or 'EX' trims for leather and panoramic roofs.
- 2023–Present (Mk6): £34,000 – £48,000 — The latest 'e:HEV' and 'e:PHEV' models offer premium tech and significantly improved electric-only ranges.
Common Issues to Check
- Oil Dilution: Some early 1.5-litre VTEC turbo petrol engines suffered from fuel leaking into the oil; check service history for Honda's software fixes.
- Infotainment Glitches: The Honda Connect system in Mk5 models can be prone to lagging or freezing; ensure firmware is updated via the DVLA-registered dealer network.
- DPF Clogging: On older i-DTEC diesels used solely for short school runs, the Diesel Particulate Filter can block. Look for evidence of regular 'regeneration' drives.
- Battery Drainage: Some owners report the 12V starter battery on hybrid models can deplete if the vehicle is left stationary for more than two weeks.
Running Costs
- Fuel Economy: 42-53mpg for Hybrids; 35-40mpg for Petrol; 45-55mpg for older Diesel units.
- Insurance Group: Groups 22 to 34, making it competitive against the Toyota RAV4 and VW Tiguan.
- Servicing: Fixed-price servicing is common at Honda UK dealers, typically ranging from £200 to £450 depending on the mileage interval (A or B service).
Which Variant Should I Choose?
- S / SE: Budget-conscious buyers who want the sheer size of a CR-V without the premium price tag of luxury gadgets.
- SR: The 'sweet spot' for UK families, adding front and rear parking sensors, heated seats, and ambient lighting.
- EX: Luxury seekers; this top-tier trim includes a head-up display, hands-free power tailgate, and a panoramic glass roof.
- E:PHEV Advance Tech: Company car drivers looking to benefit from low Benefit-in-Kind (BiK) tax rates thanks to its plug-in hybrid efficiency.
