As far as I’m concerned there’s three things the car is likely to suffer from, perhaps four, depending on age.
1. Rear wheel bearings
2. Input shaft bearing whine
3. Water ingress in boot
4. Rust
Our first car had just had the rear bearings replaced at a cost of £300 according to the receipt and had the leaking joint causing water ingress to the boot. During the 50,000 miles of driving, there was no problem with the input shaft bearing. Car was becoming rusty underneath but no signs of anything that that compromised the safety of the car. The car had done 130,000 miles when we sold it and was in generally very good and unworn looking condition. I believe the new owners were very impressed with the overall condition.
The new car appears to be fine, with the exception of number 3.
I honestly wouldn’t be concerned with higher mileages on a Honda at all. Buy on condition not age or mileage.
Other than an AC condenser and some associated pipes, there really wasn’t anything out of the normal servicing required for the car. It had one full exhaust system and then a back box fitted just before sale. I’ve no idea why the back box corroded so badly, as the middle section of the exhaust was bought at the same time from the same outlet and it looked to be in really good condition when I changed it.
Other than oil & filter changes, the spark plugs were replaced (£13 from EuroCarParts delivered for
a couple of years back when the car started to Kangaroo when setting off. This is another known issue but it’s just a servicing item really.
Oh and one other thing, the keyfob started falling to bits but a case sourced on either eBay or Aliexpress had it looking as good as new for around £2.
