Used value estimate
2016 Honda Pilot value
By Hari Vinayak · Updated 2026-06-12
Quick answer
A 2016 Honda Pilot in good condition with average mileage (about 125,000 miles) is worth roughly $13,350 in a private-party sale — a fair range of $12,300 to $14,400, or about $15,350 at a dealer. Note: 2016 is a flagged year for this model (2016) — First-year 9-speed on upper trims shifted poorly; 6-speed trims of the same year are fine. Expect to pay at the lower end and budget for that risk.

See all Honda Pilot years to avoidWhat 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
