Question 3

What should I check when buying a used 2016 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. Prefer a Honda Sensing grade if you want AEB and adaptive cruise — read the window/grade, do not assume. Cold-test the hybrid i-DCD. A facelift does not fix a worn clutch. 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 2016 Honda Vezel a good used buy in New Zealand?

Accepted Answer

The 2016 Honda Vezel is still the first-generation RU, but after Honda's February 2016 facelift. Lighting, bumper design and — on many grades — Honda Sensing (collision mitigation, adaptive cruise, lane keep) separate it from 2013–2015 cars.
