2015 Honda Pilot 3.5L Petrol · AE64 FPN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy and demonstrates a stable maintenance trend despite high-mileage. The most recent MOT test in October 2025 at 161,246 miles resulted in a clean pass following an initial failure on the same day for a nearside stop lamp. This indicates the owner is proactive in rectifying identified defects immediately to maintain compliance, mirroring the clean results seen in 2024 and early 2023. At 161,246 miles over eleven years, this Honda Pilot has averaged approximately 14,600 miles per year, which sits above the national average for a passenger vehicle. The data shows consistent usage, with 10,690 miles covered between October 2023 and October 2024, and another 3,850 miles in the year leading up to the most recent test. This regular accumulation suggests the vehicle is used frequently for motorway commuting, which typically places less strain on the clutch and gearbox compared to short-distance city driving. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on heavy-duty components most susceptible to this high mileage profile. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion or mechanical failure, the history of exterior lighting defects like missing fog lamps and repeaters suggests a history of reactive rather than preventative maintenance. Close attention must be paid to the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these often reach their service limit at this mileage. Additionally, the condition of the brake discs and the thickness of the tyre treads are vital to ensure the high annual mileage has not led to accelerated wear of the braking system.
