Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2008 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.
