How good are the 1st gen CRVs?

I have a 2001 Honda CRV with 176k miles

Receipts from previous owners. Showing 5k worth of work last 2-3 years.

They did a Valve adjustment on engine, waterpump, timing belt, brake booster, valve cover gasket, looks like on time oil changes. I see a Trans drain and fill from honda at 131k miles, I just did another drain and refill with genuine fluid at like 171k. No Trans slips or anything. Other stuff done too, they really took care of it. 

So just how reliable are these things, I see scottys videos but I only see him mentioning the 2nd generation and newer. Don't see him mention 1st Gen.

How many miles could I possibly expect to get out of it, if it's been decently maintained.

It’s basically a Civic underneath, so it’s pretty darn good.

Here's what's been done to mine after looking through receipts

I am finding consistent oil change records every 2-5k miles since 18k miles. 

Front suspension done, control arms, wheel bearings, tie rods, sway bars etc @ 119k

Brake fluid flush, rear dif fluid changed, Trans fluid drain refill, ps fluid change @ 133k by Honda

Timing belt, water pump, all belts @ 141k by Honda

Valve cover at 141k

Valve adjustment @ 140k

Drain refill myself Trans @ 171k

I just don't see records of Trans fluid change before honda did it at 133k and myself at 171k

But doesn't slip
