HONDA CR-V Common

As of 2026 Q1, 213,694 HONDA CR-Vs remain registered in the UK — still a familiar sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 234,041 in 2019 Q4 — only 91% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 20,347 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 5,115 a year (2.4% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2055 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer.
