    Depends on the type,price and condition. That mileage is nothing to worry about if it has been looked after

    It looks very clean and the owner says they changed the oil and filters every 6000 klms .
    Thanks for the replyðŸ‘ðŸ¼

    6000kms is overkill for oil changes. I assume there's no actual record of these?
    I've 195k on mine now, and there isn't a bother on it, no expensive bills.
    Which engine is it?

    170,000 km is about 105,000 miles which is not excessive on a 9 year old car by any means especially a Honda. People have an allergic reaction when they see a car's mileage in 6 digit figures whether it be in km or miles.

    Ah you'll probably be grand. They're a very robust engine.

    If it's a hatchback, make sure the blinds work for the panoramic roof as they can go funny. Make sure the clutch isn't slipping, and make sure the aircon works especially the controls for air direction, mirrors sometimes won't fold up.
    All or any of the above would be rare though.


    Out of interest, how much is it? I have one and will probably be selling soon.
