DE07 AED MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2007 Honda Accord (DE07 AED) between November 2023 and November 2025.
The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.
The most recent test on 21 November 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues), Brakes (3 issues), Lighting (2 issues), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 13 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Engine MIL inoperative or indicates a malfunction (8.2.1.2 (h))”; “Rear Exhaust emissions likely to be affected by an exhaust leak (8.2.1.1 (b))”; “Offside Front Headlamp light intensity severely reduced (4.1.4 (a))”.

Our Verdict
Approach this 2007 Honda Accord with caution and budget for immediate repairs. The MOT history shows repeated failures and corrosion concerns that need addressing before it can be considered a safe daily driver.
Before buying, insist on seeing the full service history and confirm whether the 2024 emissions failures (hydrocarbon and lambda limits exceeded, plus exhaust leak) and the 2025 engine management light fault have been properly repaired, as these point to potential engine or exhaust system issues. Use the recorded failures to negotiate hard on price — a car that failed on binding rear brakes, imbalanced brakes and headlamp issues in 2024 should not command top money. Given no model aggregate data is available, lean on the individual MOT record as your main evidence of condition rather than assumed Honda Accord reliability.
As a 1998cc petrol car first registered in March 2007, this Accord will fall into a older tax band with modest VED, likely around £200-£350 per year depending on emissions, though the 2024 emissions failures suggest it may not be the cleanest runner. Insurance group for a 2007 Accord is typically moderate, but age and mileage may keep premiums reasonable. Routine maintenance on a high-mileage 18-year-old Honda can be affordable thanks to parts availability, but budget for consumables flagged in MOTs such as brake pads, headlamps and exhaust components.
Pay close attention to the rear sub-frame, which was advised as corroded (but not seriously weakened) at the 2025 MOT — inspect underneath for worsening rust, especially around suspension mounts. Check the engine management system given the 2025 failure for an inoperative or malfunction-indicating MIL, and verify the 2024 emissions faults (hydrocarbon, lambda, exhaust leak) are resolved with a fresh emissions test if possible. Examine the front and rear number plates (both repeatedly advised as deteriorated), headlamp lenses (severely reduced intensity noted in 2024), and rear brakes for binding or imbalance as previously failed.
This blue 2007 Honda Accord (DE07AED) has covered 95,214 miles as of its most recent November 2025 MOT, which is broadly typical for an 18-year-old petrol saloon. The MOT record shows two failures in the past two years, including emissions and braking faults in 2024 and an engine warning light fault in 2025. Advisories for sub-frame corrosion and deteriorating number plates suggest the car is aging but structurally sound for now.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Honda Accord, so this assessment relies solely on the individual vehicle's recorded history.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2007 model year cars.
- 2.2 i-CTDi Inlet Manifold Swirl Flap FailureSerious
High-mileage diesels can suffer failing swirl-flap mechanisms and cracked inlet manifolds, causing rough running, fumes and expensive top-end work if ignored.
- Premature Clutch and DMF WearSerious
Some diesel Accords wear their clutch and dual-mass flywheel earlier than expected, especially if they have towed or spent their life in traffic.
- ABS / VSA Module FailureModerate
Ageing ABS and stability-control modules can trigger warning lights and expensive dealer quotes, though specialist rebuilds are often available.
