2012 HONDA ACCORD2.2L DIESEL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass in its most recent test on September 30, 2025, at 141,579 miles. This indicates an improving maintenance trend compared to the failure recorded in August 2024. While the car previously struggled with basic consumable items, the lack of any advisories in the latest inspection suggests the owner has addressed the mechanical deficiencies identified during the previous year. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. There is a significant jump of 22,705 miles between the August 2024 and September 2025 tests, representing a period of high usage during that interval. Conversely, the period between 2022 and 2023 showed a much lower accumulation of only 7,199 miles, suggesting the vehicle is used for regular commuting but has experienced variable wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front braking system, as both nearside and offside pads were flagged as wearing thin during the August 2024 failure. Although these were replaced prior to the 2025 pass, the condition of the brake discs should be checked for thinning or uneven wear. The previous failure involving a snapped stud and missing nut on the offside rear wheel also highlights a need to verify all wheel bolts are secure and that no structural fatigue or improper torque remains in the hub assembly.
