Honda Fit buying guide (Ireland, 2026)
What a used Honda Fit costs in Ireland, how it does at the NCT, what goes wrong and what it costs to fix. Based on 617 for sale right now.
Our take on the Honda Fit
A 2023 Honda Fit typically advertises at €17,000 and a 2018 one at €12,450, so it loses roughly 6% of its value a year at that age, slower than most cars. It's sold here mainly as a petrol. At the NCT, the 2010–2017 cars do better than other cars the same year. The 1.5 hybrid is the most common engine (85% of those with a known engine), and it usually lasts around 400k km.

"Usually lasts" is the mileage these engines commonly reach before major work; service history matters more than the number.
