The HONDA FR-V (2004-10) 5DR MPV 1.8 I-VTEC 140 ES is a family MPV that sits between hatchbacks and people carriers. Its six-seat layout places three seats across the row, making it distinct from the Vauxhall Zafira and Renault Scenic. The 1.8-litre engine and ES trim make it particularly versatile. Mycarcheck.com records 297 look-ups for this version, covering 99 different VINs, so the figures offer a snapshot rather than a full census. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £2,200, average recorded mileage of 108,000 miles and around 5,000 miles driven annually. Owners have averaged just under three previous keepers. It suits families needing space or drivers carrying several passengers without a bulky vehicle. Its three front seats are a talking point, while Honda’s petrol engine offers straightforward everyday driving. Compared with compact MPVs, the FR-V feels distinctive and easy to live with; check condition and service history before purchase.
