HONDA ACCORD2009 · 2.4L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test on January 6 2026 at 111,369 miles passed with no defects, immediately following a failure just one day prior for minor electrical issues related to the nearside front position lamp and dipped beam. While the current status is clean, the history shows a pattern of addressing faults only when they trigger an MOT failure, rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. At 111,369 miles over 17 years, the Accord averages approximately 6,550 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-use for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 9,000 miles covered between July 2023 and August 2024, and another 6,600 miles between August 2024 and January 2026. This regularity suggests the car is driven regularly, preventing age-related degradation of rubber components despite the relatively low annual mileage. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The July 2023 test flagged corrosion on all front suspension components and a worn inner suspension arm bush, followed by an insecure anti-roll bar linkage failure in 2024. These entries indicate that the chassis-related hardware is beginning to succumb to age and environmental wear. Additionally, both front and rear brake discs were noted as pitted and scored in 2023; while they passed subsequent tests, the buyer should verify the current thickness and condition of the discs and pads to ensure they are not nearing the end of their functional life.
