Moose’s Verdict

Too many miles, too much money.

The redesigned 2025 Equinox is a solid compact SUV — good tech, comfortable ride, decent fuel economy. But 40,410 miles on a one-year-old vehicle is nearly triple the normal pace, and $24,660 is roughly $2,000 over what comparable 40k-mile 2025 Equinox LTs actually sell for. Heavy miles plus an above-market price is a bad combination. The dealer is reputable, but the numbers don’t work here. Pass.

Price vs Market
$24,660 sits ~$2k above comparable 2025 Equinox LTs with ~40k miles ($21,998–$23,948).

★★★★★

History (VIN)
No history data available on the listing — verify the history yourself before you buy.

★★★★★

Maintenance & Reliability
2025 is a full redesign year — the 1.5L turbo is proven, but the CVT pairing is new and long-term data is thin.

★★★★★

Fuel Economy
26 city / 28 highway — competitive for the class, nothing to complain about.

★★★★★

Dealership
4.7 stars on DealerRater (114 reviews), A+ BBB accredited — strong reputation for a used-car store.
