- ✓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.
