2021 Honda Pilot 3.5L Petrol · AE70 FVN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status as evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 16 December 2025. At 97,996 miles, the Honda Pilot passed with no recorded defects. This result suggests a consistent maintenance standard where the primary mechanical and safety components met the DVSA requirements at the time of testing without immediate failure. The mileage profile indicates high usage for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 19,600 miles per annum. Reaching nearly 100,000 miles in this short timeframe places significant stress on the drivetrain and wear-related components compared to average private use patterns. While the December test is recent, only six months prior to the current date, the rapid accumulation of miles means the car was likely used for consistent motorway commuting or heavy commercial duty. Given the high mileage, a buyer must focus their in-person inspection on components prone to fatigue under load. Particular attention should be paid to the suspension geometry, control arm bushes, and coil springs for signs of premature wear or cracking. The braking system also requires a thorough check for caliper caliper performance and uneven thinning of the discs, as high-mileage cycles accelerate the degradation of these consumables. Although the current record is clean, the sheer volume of travel suggests that fluid integrity and underbody components will be nearing their major service intervals.
