Its unusual layout with three seats in the front and three in the back made it stand out from rivals. The FR-V is generally reliable, but like any car, it has some known weaknesses. This guide explains the most common Honda FR-V problems and typical repair costs in the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-font-size has-small-font-size\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/carexamer.com\/\">Book inspection<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Honda FR-V<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The FR-V was built on the Honda Civic platform and came with both petrol and diesel engines.

The diesel version uses a chain that can stretch over time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Typical Repair and Service Costs in the UK<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are average UK garage costs for Honda FR-V repairs and servicing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Repair or Service<\/th><th>What is Included<\/th><th>Average Cost<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Annual service<\/td><td>Oil, filter, safety checks<\/td><td>\u00a3160 to \u00a3230<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Major service<\/td><td>Spark plugs, filters, brake fluid, full inspection<\/td><td>\u00a3280 to \u00a3400<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Clutch replacement<\/td><td>Full clutch kit, may include flywheel<\/td><td>\u00a3450 to \u00a3750<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Gearbox repairs<\/td><td>Bearings or synchros<\/td><td>\u00a3500 to \u00a3900<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>EGR valve replacement (diesel)<\/td><td>New valve<\/td><td>\u00a3250 to \u00a3450<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Turbo replacement (diesel)<\/td><td>Turbocharger unit<\/td><td>\u00a3900 to \u00a31,400<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Front brake pads and discs<\/td><td>Replacement<\/td><td>\u00a3170 to \u00a3280<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Suspension repairs<\/td><td>Bushes, shocks, ball joints<\/td><td>\u00a3200 to \u00a3400 per axle<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Air conditioning service<\/td><td>Re-gas or compressor replacement<\/td><td>\u00a3100 to \u00a3350<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Timing belt (petrol)<\/td><td>Belt and tensioners<\/td><td>\u00a3300 to \u00a3500<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Timing chain (diesel)<\/td><td>Replacement if stretched<\/td><td>\u00a3800 to \u00a31,200<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Rust repair<\/td><td>Welding and repainting<\/td><td>\u00a3200 to \u00a3600<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Keep Costs Down<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Service the car regularly and always use quality oil<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Replace the timing belt on petrol versions on schedule<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drive diesel versions on longer trips to reduce DPF and EGR issues<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repair suspension knocks early to avoid uneven tyre wear<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Service the air conditioning every few years<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inspect older cars for rust and repair small patches quickly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Honda FR-V is one of the most practical compact MPVs sold in the UK. Its six-seat layout and Honda reliability make it an excellent used buy, but owners should be prepared for certain common problems. These include clutch and gearbox wear, diesel engine faults, suspension knocks, and air conditioning failures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most repair costs are reasonable compared with rival MPVs, though turbo and timing chain repairs on diesel models can be expensive. With regular maintenance, the FR-V can remain a reliable and flexible family car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/carexamer.com\/blog\/sed-volkswagen-vw-vehicle-inspection\/\">Buying a used VW.<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/carexamer.com\/blog\/a-guide-to-inspecting-a-used-vauxhall-vehicle\/\">Buying used vauxhall<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/carexamer.com\/blog\/used-bmw-inspection\/\">BMW<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/carexamer.com\/blog\/used-jaguar-inspection\/\">Jaguar<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/carexamer.com\/blog\/used-ford-vehicle-inspection\/\">Ford<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/carexamer.com\/blog\/used-volvo-car-inspection\/\">Volvo<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/carexamer.com\/blog\/used-range-rover-suv-inspection\/\">Range rover<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/carexamer.com\/blog\/used-bentley-vehicle-inspection\/\">Bentley<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/carexamer.com\/blog\/used-aston-martin-vehicle-inspection\/\">Aston Martin<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/carexamer.com\/blog\/the-used-porsche-vehicle-inspection\/\">Porsche<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/carexamer.com\/blog\/used-ferrari-vehicle-inspection\/\">Ferrari<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/carexamer.com\/blog\/used-lamborghini-vehicle-inspection\/\">Lamborghini<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/carexamer.com\/blog\/used-maserati-vehicle-inspection\/\">Maserati<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/carexamer.com\/blog\/used-hyundai-vehicle-inspections\/\">Hyunda<\/a>i,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/carexamer.com\/blog\/comprehensive-guide-to-tesla-vehicle-inspection\/\">Tesla<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/carexamer.com\/blog\/comprehensive-guide-to-a-used-honda-pre-purchase-inspection\/\">Honda<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/carexamer.com\/blog\/comprehensive-guide-to-used-pagani-pre-purchase-inspection\/\">Pagani<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Honda FR-V is a six-seat compact MPV that was sold in the UK between 2004 and 2009.
