Question 2

What are common problems with a 2013 Honda CR-V in NZ?

Accepted Answer

Air-conditioning compressor; AWD rear-diff / dual-pump fluid; Sill and underbody rust; Battery drain / auto-stop electrics. Check the year guide for detail and inspect these on any car you are considering.

Question 3

What should I check when buying a used 2013 Honda CR-V in NZ?

Accepted Answer

Request as much service history as possible - regular servicing matters more than promises from the seller. Test the automatic cold from startup — any shudder, hesitation or warning lights on first takeoff should be investigated further. Inspect lower sills, wheel arches and underbody for rust - especially on coastal or South Island cars. Check all electronics work - climate control, infotainment, reverse camera, and any safety tech fitted. On AWD 2.4s, ask about rear-diff / dual-pump fluid — budget to do it if unknown. Test the A/C at idle in traffic; compressor failure is a known 4th-gen bill. Run a PPSR check and review WOF history before buying. Compare condition and service records across listings - the best-value example is often the best-kept one not the cheapest.

Question 4

Is the 2013 Honda CR-V a good used buy in New Zealand?

Accepted Answer

The 2013 Honda CR-V is the fourth generation sold new by Honda NZ as a 2.0-litre FWD or 2.4-litre AWD petrol, with a smaller run of 2.2 i-DTEC diesels. JDM 2.0/2.4 petrols sit in the same yards. This is not the later 1.5 turbo car.
