Question 3

What should I check when buying a used 2015 Honda Vezel 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. On hybrids, do a cold take-off in traffic and listen for i-DCD shudder — this is not a Toyota-style e-CVT. Confirm petrol vs hybrid and FWD vs AWD on the Japanese plate — do not assume it matches an NZ-new HR-V 1.8. 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.

Question 4

Is the 2015 Honda Vezel a good used buy in New Zealand?

Accepted Answer

The 2015 Honda Vezel is a first-generation RU JDM crossover — the Japanese-market car that sits alongside the NZ-new Honda HR-V. In NZ almost every Vezel is a used import, usually a 1.5 petrol CVT or a 1.5 i-DCD hybrid, in FWD or Real Time AWD.
