Honda Warranty

Honda Car Warranty - in brief

This warranty is available on any Honda Used Approved Car. Honda will need to check the car over if it does not come from the Honda used approved scheme.

This will mean taking the car to a dealer and paying for half an hours labour at a round £45.00. There is a separate wear and tear option that can be purchased by the owner and added to the warranty.

The IMA (Integrated Motor Assist - the Honda hybrid system) is covered by a separate warranty up 80,000 miles or 8 years).

We would suggest checking eligibility with a Honda dealer when considering purchasing a vehicle for which you want and extended warranty and would advise asking the following questions.

Key Points to Consider When Comparing Honda Warranty Quotes:

• How does Honda define ‘wear and tear?' 
  • Opinions on what constitutes ‘wear and tear' vary greatly from manufacturer to manufacturer and insurer to insurer.
• We also advise making sure you know the period you need the car to be covered for before comparing to quotes from independent car warranty providers. This will affect the price of independent warranties.
