Used value estimate

2011 Honda Pilot value

By Hari Vinayak · Updated 2026-06-12

Quick answer

A 2011 Honda Pilot in good condition with average mileage (about 187,500 miles) is worth roughly $7,900 in a private-party sale — a fair range of $7,250 to $8,550, or about $9,100 at a dealer. Note: 2011 is a flagged year for this model (2009–2011) — VCM oil burning plus torque converter shudder — the highest-complaint Pilot years. Expect to pay at the lower end and budget for that risk.

What to check before you pay

  • VCM cylinder deactivation (2009–2015 worst): oil consumption, spark plug fouling, vibration, and engine mount wear — many owners install VCM disablers
  • 2016–2018 9-speed (ZF): harsh or delayed shifts and occasional limp mode — test drive thoroughly; 6-speed trims are safer
  • Timing belt is a ~$1,000 service due every 100,000 miles — no proof means budget for it now
