2021 Honda Pilot 3.5L Petrol · AE70 FFP

The Honda Pilot presents a clean bill of health as of its most recent MOT on 30 May 2026 at 57,874 miles, where it passed with zero defects. The maintenance trend is demonstrably stable and improving, with two consecutive passes showing no advisories or failures. This is a strong indicator of consistent upkeep and a vehicle that has been kept in sound mechanical order. The mileage accumulation is entirely typical for a five-year-old vehicle. Between the 5 June 2025 test at 47,163 miles and the 30 May 2026 test at 57,874 miles, the vehicle covered 10,711 miles over approximately 12 months. This aligns with the overall average of roughly 11,575 miles per year, suggesting regular, sustained use rather than prolonged standing or unusually light driving. There are no concerning gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer record. The MOT history is sparse but entirely clean, with no recurring faults, structural corrosion, or emissions issues ever flagged. That said, a physical inspection remains essential. Buyers should verify the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these components endure steady wear at this mileage. Brake discs, pads, and calipers should be measured for thickness and checked for binding or uneven wear. Tyre condition and alignment deserve close attention, given the vehicle's weight and typical usage patterns. A thorough underbody inspection for corrosion, particularly on the subframes and inner arches, is advisable for peace of mind.
