Used Honda Pilot: the years to buy and the years to skip
Every Honda Pilot from 2010 to 2025, across 3 generations: what each year typically sells for (about $7,500 to $44,000), its crash rating, and whether it's a year to target or skip. The best bets are 2014–2015, 2019–2025. Look harder at or skip 2010–2013, 2016–2018.
2023–2025 Honda Pilot
A more rugged three-row SUV with a new six-cylinder and an off-road TrailSport version.
Years to target: 2023–2025. It has a strong reliability record.
| Year | Typical price | Verdict | Crash rating | Typical miles |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | $39,500 | Target | 5 of 5 | ~50,000 |
| 2024 | $42,000 | Target | 5 of 5 | ~35,000 |
| 2025 | $44,000 | Target | 5 of 5 | ~25,000 |
Worth knowing
- Fuel economy is only around 20 mpg overall, and this generation is still young, so check recall status.
The trim we'd park in our garage
Look for the EX-L: it adds leather, a sunroof, a power liftgate and wireless charging over the Sport. Every trim includes Honda Sensing and CarPlay.

Years to target: 2019–2022. Look harder at or skip: 2016–2018. It has a strong reliability record.
| Year | Typical price | Verdict | Crash rating | Typical miles |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2016 | $14,000 | Skip | 5 of 5 | ~140,000 |
| 2017 | $17,500 | Skip | 5 of 5 | ~130,000 |

* Estimated from nearby years, since few were listed for sale.
Worth knowing
- Skip 2016–2018. The nine-speed automatic on upper trims drew complaints about rough shifting. Later years are smoother.
- 2016: owner complaints spike (1,702, mostly the engine).
- The V6 uses a timing belt due around 100,000 miles, and some owners report infotainment glitches.
The trim we'd park in our garage
Look for the EX-L: it adds leather, heated seats, a sunroof and a power liftgate over the EX. Honda Sensing became standard on every trim from 2019.

2010–2015 Honda Pilot
A boxy, practical three-row SUV with room for a big family and available all-wheel drive.
Years to target: 2014–2015. Look harder at or skip: 2010–2013. It has a strong reliability record.
| Year | Typical price | Verdict | Crash rating | Typical miles |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2010 | $7,500 | Skip | 4 of 5 | ~200,000 |
| 2011 | $8,000 | Skip | 4 of 5 | ~190,000 |
| 2012 | $8,500 | Skip | 4 of 5 | ~175,000 |
| 2013 | $9,500 | Skip | 4 of 5 | ~165,000 |
| 2014 | $10,500 | Target | 4 of 5 | ~150,000 |
| 2015 | $11,000* | Target | 4 of 5 | ~140,000 |
* Estimated from nearby years, since few were listed for sale.
Worth knowing
- Skip 2010–2013. The V6's cylinder deactivation system is linked to oil burning and misfires. Ask for records showing it was addressed.
- The five-speed automatic and high-teens fuel economy feel dated, and the V6 needs a timing belt around 100,000 miles.
The trim we'd park in our garage
Look for the EX-L: it adds leather, heated front seats, a sunroof and a backup camera over the EX and LX. Every Pilot uses the reliable 3.5L V6.
On the test drive
Get a pre-purchase inspection and a vehicle history report before you buy.
