Buying Tips for the 2008–2015 Honda Accord Mk8

  • ✓The 2.2 i-DTEC suits motorway use very well, but town-driven diesels need DPF and EGR history rather than just stamps in a book.
  • ✓Inspect the rear discs and calipers carefully because Mk8 Accords can eat rear brakes if corrosion builds up around the pads.
  • ✓Check for suspension knocks and tyre wear on heavier Tourer or Type S cars with large wheels.
