Honda Price Guide

Honda is one of the most trusted names in the automotive world, and that trust translates directly into used values. If you are trying to establish what your Honda is worth, the good news is that the brand’s reputation for reliability and low running costs means there is strong and consistent demand across the range. Hondas tend to depreciate more slowly than the segment average and are among the easiest cars to sell on the used market.

What Affects Honda Values

Condition and service history are the primary factors, but Honda’s engineering reputation gives these cars a natural value floor that cheaper competitors do not enjoy. The VTEC badge carries genuine weight among enthusiasts and Honda-engined cars with the higher-output VTEC units (particularly the K20 and earlier B-series) hold value better than base-engine equivalents.

Full Honda dealer service history is the gold standard, though these cars are so well-supported by independent specialists that a complete independent history is perfectly acceptable. Low mileage matters, but a well-maintained high-mileage Honda is often worth more than a neglected low-mileage example, because buyers trust the engineering to last.

Performance and Collectible

The original NSX (1990-2005) is the headline Honda collectible – a mid-engined supercar engineered with input from Ayrton Senna that embarrassed Ferrari and fundamentally changed the supercar paradigm. Values have risen sharply and the best examples, particularly manual-gearbox cars and the lighter Type R variant, now command serious money. The second-generation NSX (2016-2022) with its hybrid V6 powertrain is still finding its level on the used market. The Civic Type R has been a consistent performer across every generation – the EP3, FN2, FK2, FK8, and current FL5 all have devoted followings, and the FK8 in particular is appreciating. The Integra Type R (DC2) is a blue-chip Japanese classic whose values have soared. The S2000 roadster, with its screaming 9,000 rpm engine, is another car that has appreciated dramatically and shows no sign of softening. Any Honda with a Type R badge or a high-revving VTEC engine is now taken seriously by collectors.

Everyday Hondas

The Civic and Jazz are the backbone of the UK Honda used market and both offer outstanding reliability and strong residual values. The Jazz in particular has become a byword for dependable, low-cost motoring and attracts a loyal buyer base that keeps demand strong. The CR-V and HR-V SUVs follow standard crossover depreciation but hold value well within the segment. The e:Ny1 electric SUV is Honda’s current EV offering and is subject to the same steeper depreciation affecting most premium-priced EVs, though Honda’s reputation for build quality provides some support. The Honda e, the brand’s first electric city car (now discontinued), has developed a small cult following thanks to its charming retro-modern design, though limited range restricts its practicality and affects resale.
