About the Honda City

The Honda City has been one of Pakistan's most trusted compact sedans across multiple generations, valued for its fuel economy, comfortable ride, and solid after-sales network. Resale is consistently strong across all model years, making it a popular choice for first-time buyers and daily commuters. Used examples typically trade in the PKR 22–45 lacs range depending on year, variant, and condition.

Follow-up:

Any oil or coolant leaking?

Look under the car where it was parked, and around the engine.

Dry, no leaks Light seepage, no drips Active leak or drips on the ground Not sure

Has the engine been opened or overhauled?

Follow-up:

Firm, stops straight, no noise Some squeal, or a slightly soft pedal Grinding, pulls when braking, or ABS light on Not sure

Checking rust, glass and lights

Exterior & Body · how to check

A car has about 12 outer panels: 4 doors, 2 front fenders, 2 rear quarter panels, the bonnet, the boot lid and 2 bumpers. "Touch-up" means one panel resprayed; "shower" means most or all of the car resprayed, usually to hide many repairs.

How to check

Look along each panel in daylight from a low angle. A resprayed panel is often a slightly different shade, or has an orange-peel texture the others do not.
Check rubber seals, window trims, badges and plastic clips for overspray: specks or a film of paint where there should be none.
Open every door, the bonnet and the boot. Factory paint runs evenly into the edges and hinges; a resprayed panel often shows a masking line there.
Uneven gaps between panels suggest one was removed, replaced or straightened.
A paint thickness gauge settles it: a panel reading well above the rest of the car has been repainted. Gauges do not read plastic, so judge bumpers by shade.

What to count

Count each panel once, however small the repaint on it.
Bumper touch-ups are common and minor, but they still count.
Leave the roof and pillars for the next question: they are structure, not panels.

What each answer means for the price

None. Total genuine paint Excellent
1–2 panels touched upA follow-up question can move this Good
3–5 panels repaintedA follow-up question can move this Fair
6 or more, or the whole car (shower)A follow-up question can move this Bad

The worst answer across the Exterior & Body questions sets that section's condition.

These parts hold the car's shape in a crash and are not bolted on. A repaint or weld here almost always follows a serious accident, which is why buyers in Pakistan ask "chatt aur pillars genuine?" before anything else.

Where they are

Roof (chatt), including its edges above the doors.
A-pillars beside the windscreen, B-pillars between the doors, C-pillars beside the rear glass.
Front rails and strut towers: under the bonnet, either side of the engine, and the domes where the front suspension mounts.
Boot floor and the panel behind the rear bumper (boot lock pillar).

How to check

Open the doors and look at the pillars and sills for weld marks, filler, wrinkled metal or sealant that does not match the factory beads.
Lift the boot mat. The floor should be flat with neat factory seam sealer; ripples or fresh paint mean a rear impact.
Under the bonnet, compare left and right. Rails and strut towers should be mirror images, with the small round dimples of factory spot welds.
If you cannot tell "repainted" from "repaired", choose Not sure and have it inspected. This is the one question worth paying an inspector to answer.

What each answer means for the price

No, all original Excellent
Repainted, no sign of metal repairA follow-up question can move this Fair
Welded, straightened or replaced Bad

The worst answer across the Exterior & Body questions sets that section's condition.

Minor means cosmetic damage to a bumper, door or fender with nothing structural touched. Major means the airbags went off, the car was towed, or the front or rear structure needed repair.

How to check

Ask plainly whether the car has been in an accident and whether an insurance claim was made. Hesitation is an answer too.
The airbag (SRS) warning light should come on at start and go out within seconds.
Seat belts that will not retract, or an airbag cover that looks or feels different from the rest of the trim, point to a deployment.
A new radiator, condenser or headlights on an older car hint at a front impact.
On imported cars, an auction grade of R or RA means the car was repaired after an accident; the sheet's body map marks where.

What each answer means for the price

No, non-accidental Excellent
Minor: a bumper or panel only, no airbagsA follow-up question can move this Good
Major: airbags deployed, or front or rear structure repaired Bad

The worst answer across the Exterior & Body questions sets that section's condition.

PakWheels inspectors size marks against a hand, and so can you: a thumb, the flat of a palm, or an elbow. Size and count matter more than where the marks are.

How to check

Walk round slowly in daylight, then crouch and look along each side. Dents show up as a break in the reflection.
Run a fingernail across a scratch: if it catches, the scratch is through the clear coat and needs paint, not just polish.
Check the lower doors and bumper corners, where parking marks collect.

What each answer means for the price

Nothing worth mentioning Excellent
A few thumb-sized marks Good
Several marks, some palm-sized Fair
Many marks, or elbow-sized dents Bad

The worst answer across the Exterior & Body questions sets that section's condition.

Surface rust can be treated; rust bubbling under the paint keeps spreading; a rust hole means metal has to be cut out and replaced.

How to check

Look under the doors along the sills (foot boards), inside the wheel arches, at the bottom edge of the boot lid and under the boot mat.
Check the windscreen in the driver's line of sight: a chip there can spread into a crack.
Look at headlight and taillight lenses for cracks, yellowing or moisture inside.

What each answer means for the price

No rust, clear glass and lights Excellent
A surface rust spot or a small windscreen chip Good
Rust bubbling under the paint, or a cracked light Fair
Rust holes, or a cracked windscreen Bad
