Used Honda Frequently Asked Questions
Is a used Honda a reliable car?
Absolutely. Honda's reputation for reliability is legendary, consistently placing them at the top of dependability surveys. This means fewer unexpected repair bills and more time enjoying the road.
Are used Honda cars expensive to maintain?
No, Honda cars are generally known for their affordable maintenance costs. Parts are readily available, and their excellent reliability often translates to lower repair expenses. An annual service will typically cost between £150 and £350.
How long do Honda engines last?
With regular maintenance, Honda engines are renowned for their longevity. It's not uncommon to see them running perfectly for well over 150,000 to 200,000 miles.
What is the best used Honda to buy?
For a smart and dependable choice, the used Honda Civic is a fantastic all-rounder. If you need something smaller and incredibly versatile, the used Honda Jazz is an excellent option. For a family SUV, the used Honda CR-V is a solid, reliable choice.
Which Honda model holds its value best?
The Honda Civic, Honda CR-V, and Honda Jazz tend to hold their value exceptionally well due to their immense popularity, reliability, and strong demand in the used car market.
What is the most important thing to check when buying a used Honda?
The single most important factor is a full service history. While Hondas are incredibly reliable, evidence of regular maintenance is the best sign that a car has been properly cared for. All our Approved Used models come with a verified history, removing any uncertainty for you.
Is Honda's e:HEV hybrid system reliable?
Yes, it is exceptionally reliable. Honda has been a pioneer in hybrid technology for decades, and its e:HEV system is renowned for its durability and efficiency. With fewer moving parts than a traditional petrol or diesel car (no conventional gearbox or starter motor), there are fewer things to go wrong, leading to excellent long-term reliability.
Civic vs Jazz: which used Honda is right for me?
Both are excellent, practical cars. The Honda Jazz is a smaller supermini that is incredibly easy to drive and park, yet offers unrivalled interior flexibility thanks to its 'Magic Seats'. The Honda Civic is a larger family hatchback or saloon that provides more space, a more powerful drive, and is ideal for those who cover longer distances.
What are Honda's "Magic Seats" and which models have them?
"Magic Seats" are a brilliantly clever piece of engineering, found in the Jazz and Civic. As well as folding down flat, the rear seat bases can be flipped up and locked into position, like cinema seats. This creates a tall, floor-to-ceiling loading space in the middle of the car, perfect for carrying items like a bicycle or tall plants upright.
