Should I buy a used Honda CR-V with 200,000 km?

Yes — a used Honda CR-V with 200,000 km can still be a good buy, but only if the price reflects the mileage and the vehicle has a strong maintenance record. A well-maintained CR-V is generally known for long service life, but 200,000 km is still high enough that condition matters more than the badge.

What matters most is the car’s overall condition, service history, and rust. Before buying, I’d prioritize:

• Full service records: look for regular maintenance, including oil changes and any transmission or drivetrain service recommended for that model
• Pre-purchase inspection (PPI): have a mechanic check the engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, and cooling system
• Rust/underbody corrosion: especially if the car has seen salted winter roads
• Wear items: suspension parts, bushings, wheel bearings, air conditioning, and power accessories

At this mileage, it would be normal to expect some repairs soon if they haven’t already been done. If the CR-V is clean, well maintained, and priced fairly, it can still be a sensible purchase. If it has patchy service history, heavy rust, or major drivetrain issues, I’d walk away.
