Is the 2013 Cr-V getting worse?

Pass rate of 2013-registered cars across recent test years:

Test year	Pass rate
2023	85.9% +11.2 vs same-age
2024	84.7% +11.5 vs same-age
2025	83.8% +11.6 vs same-age

The raw rate normally falls as cars age. The “vs same-age” figure compares this cohort with all UK cars registered in the same year, so normal ageing is not mistaken for a bad model year.

FAQs

Is a 2013 Honda Cr-V reliable?

2013-registered examples passed 84.8% of their MOT tests (41,983 tests, 2023–2025), +11.5 points versus all UK cars registered in the same year. At roughly 13 years old with a median 86,350 miles, condition now varies car by car — always check the individual MOT history.

What mileage is too high for a 2013 Cr-V?

The median tested example shows 86,350 miles. Anything far beyond that isn't automatically bad — a motorway-mile car with consistent service records often beats a low-mileage school-run car — but price accordingly and scrutinise the mileage trail for gaps or drops.
