Common Faults & Reliability

These are the most common documented problems for the Honda Accord Mk6, sorted by their typical impact and frequency.

Rear Arch, Sill and Floor Corrosion

high severity

Rust around the rear arches, sill ends and floor edges is the defining UK problem on surviving Mk6 Accords, and welding costs can quickly exceed the value of average cars.

Est. repair cost:£400–£1,800

Front Suspension Bush and Ball Joint Wear

medium severity

The Accord’s front suspension usually stays quiet for years, but ageing bushes and lower ball joints eventually cause knocks, vague steering and uneven tyre wear.

Est. repair cost:£200–£600

Air-Conditioning Condenser or Compressor Failure

medium severity

Older Accords often lose air-conditioning performance because the front condenser corrodes or the compressor clutch wears out.

Est. repair cost:£250–£700
