2005 Honda Accord Vtec Executive 2.0L Other · IJZ 9447

This Honda Accord has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness trend over the available MOT history, with the most recent test in April 2022 at 153,698 miles resulting in a clean pass—no defects or advisories recorded. The absence of recurring faults suggests the vehicle has not suffered from persistent mechanical failures, though the sparse data limits deeper insight into long-term reliability. The last test occurred nearly four years ago, which exceeds the standard three-year MOT interval. Without intervening inspections, critical components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers may now require evaluation for wear beyond their original test date. The recorded mileage of 153,698 miles over approximately 21 years equates to an average of around 7,300 miles annually, a rate consistent with typical light-to-moderate usage for this age. There are no visible gaps or spikes in mileage accumulation between tests, though the lack of intermediate MOTs means no verification exists for maintenance between April 2022 and today. This pattern implies either consistent, low-mileage storage or adherence to a three-year service schedule, though neither can be confirmed without service records. Given the prolonged gap since the last MOT, a buyer should prioritise an immediate inspection of high-wear items such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for excessive wear or damage. The binding risk of rear brakes—common in older models—should be tested for proper operation, as should the structural integrity of wheel arches and underbody for corrosion, particularly around the rear subframe and sills. Tyre condition, including tread depth and lateral wear, must also be verified, as the absence of recent MOTs precludes assurance that previous tread checks were adequate. Engine bay components like hoses, belts, and fluid levels should be inspected for leaks or degradation, given the vehicle’s age.
