Question 3

What should I check when buying a used 2017 Honda Fit in NZ?

Accepted Answer

Request as much service history as possible - regular servicing matters more than promises from the seller. Test the automatic cold from startup — any shudder, hesitation or warning lights on first takeoff should be investigated further. Inspect lower sills, wheel arches and underbody for rust - especially on coastal or South Island cars. Check all electronics work - climate control, infotainment, reverse camera, and any safety tech fitted. Seek Honda Sensing on JDM 2017–2018 if AEB matters, and test it. Same Magic Seat and rust checks as earlier GK cars. Run a PPSR check and review WOF history before buying. Compare condition and service records across listings - the best-value example is often the best-kept one not the cheapest.
