Tiles: each year’s median failure mileage. Latest: the 2023; earliest: the 2025, and the 2023 is 2 years older (part of the gap is age).
The short answer
“Is the 2023–2025 Honda CR-V reliable?”
- Median of reported failures
- 9,500 mi
- 90% of reports came by
- 40,000 mi
- Reports with mileage
- 130
- Recalls
- 10
At least 40% of this generation’s complaints came after 2020, so its median likely runs low (why).
Most reported
- Steering43.7% of complaints · median 10,000 mi
- Problems owners could not categorise12.8% of complaints
- Forward collision avoidance10.3% of complaints
Owners filed 1,402 complaints with NHTSA about the 2023–2025 Honda CR-V; the steering leads with 43.7% of them, and half of the 130 that record an odometer reading came by 9,500 miles — complaints, not a failure rate.
61% of complaints that record mileage fall within the first 12,000 miles, against 0.5 reports per 1,000 miles between 20,000 and 80,000. On a generation this new that is expected: few examples have been driven further yet, so the timing says little about design or wear so far.

How many miles does a 2023–2025 Honda CR-V last?
The newest model years (2024–2025) are too young to have reached high mileage; most reports with an odometer reading come from the earlier years of the generation.
On the 2023–2025 Honda CR-V, half of the 130 complaints that record an odometer reading were filed by 9,500 miles and 90% by 40,000 miles (why that is not a lifespan).
1 report came in past 150,000 miles — each one proof that a CR-V reached that mileage, not that it failed there.

Before you buy a 2023–2025 CR-V: the 3-minute check
Generated from 130 mileage-tagged complaints, 10 recall campaigns.
- Run the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. 10 campaigns cover this generation.
- Ask for steering repair records. Reports on this area come at a median of 10,000 miles — a newer example may not have reached that mileage yet, so ask what was repaired under warranty and what the warranty still covers.
- Ask for electrical system repair records. Same question here: a median of 3,500 miles.
- End with a pre-purchase inspection of this car.
