Is this a good year and model for that year and are there any particular problems with it. Thanks.

Model unchanged from 2015, the satnav has ended the support.

Don't worry if the auto start-stop doesn't work and gives you a "low battery" warning. The start-stop doesn't just need a good battery, it needs a perfect battery and if it's still on the original it's probably not perfect enough. But it's probably still got plenty of life in it.

There was a facelift in 2018.

check the condition of the air-con condenser radiator at the front of the car,
had to be replaced after only 4 years in my 2018.

I'd add that rear brakes require regular maintenance in order to not get stuck overheat both the caliper and disk. So check those and maintenance history.

And check if the campaign of replacing the low pressure fuel pump in the tank is active for the specific vehicle or if it already done. It's of course no cost to an owner, but good to be aware of.

Yep, but in SE trim Honda changed just bumpers and colour palette.

No change in infotainment?

My 2018 SE is the face-lift version,  as said it was basically cosmetic bumper/grilles type stuff,  you can search for exact changes to see which yours is.
If it's CVT I'd suggest having a CVT oil change done to be on the safe side unless you know for definite that it's been done recently. Make sure the oil is of the correct spec (I'd only use Honda oil but others have used alternatives,  I use Cox Honda online store).
As others say,  don't worry about the battery warning for stop/start not available. My battery is original 7yrs old, starts the car fine, after long trips the s/s works, after some short trips it doesn't.
Don't worry too much about tyre pressure warnings, TPMS, usually just set the pressures carefully when cold (overnight maybe), reset the system in the menu, drive and it'll probably be fine. If you have significantly mismatched tyres it might cause more regular warnings.
I've not had any issues at all with mine. I have had the fuel pump recall done,  check the MOT history on the DVLA website, it should show if a recall is outstanding. Worth checking the MOT history anyway, it's a good indication of whether it's been looked after.

No, at all, nothing but a software update that can also be uploaded in the older units.
