Moose’s Verdict
150,000 miles is too many at this price.
The Honda Pilot is famously reliable — but 150,054 miles is deep into the high-mileage zone, and $13,908 doesn't discount enough for the risk. At this mileage you're buying the previous owner's maintenance habits as much as the vehicle: timing belt service ($1,000+), suspension wear, transmission health, and the general cascade of 150k-mile repairs. Comparable 2016 Pilot EX models with 90k–110k miles trade in the $14,000–$16,000 range — meaning you're paying nearly the same money for 40,000–60,000 extra miles of wear. The math doesn't work. Find the same Pilot with 40k fewer miles for similar money.
Price vs Market
$13,908 is market-correct for the miles, but the miles themselves are the problem — you're paying mid-market money for a high-mileage example.
★★★★★
History (VIN)
No history data on the listing — at 150k miles, a full history is non-negotiable.
