2010 Honda Accord 2.2L Diesel · J6 PJV

The 2010 Honda Accord presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 5 November 2025 at 34,512 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following an anomalous failure on the same date and mileage that listed no defects, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in November 2024, 2023, and 2022 each passed cleanly with no advisories, showing no worsening or recurring mechanical issues across the record. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally light use for a sixteen-year-old vehicle. From the 2022 test at 32,629 miles to the 2025 test at 34,512 miles, the car covered only 1,883 miles over three years, averaging roughly 628 miles annually against a lifetime mean near 2,157. Such low accumulation suggests extended standing periods, which can allow corrosion, seized brake components, and degraded rubber bushes despite the clean MOT slate. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT record shows no advisories but low-mileage cars often hide rust where moisture gathers during storage. The braking system warrants checks for binding calipers or scored discs from disuse, and suspension bushes with coil springs should be assessed for perishing rather than wear. Given the clean history and minimal mileage, previous ownership appears to have prioritised basic statutory testing without neglect, though the same-day fail and pass in November 2025 implies loose test-centre handling rather than owner fault. Verify service records independently to confirm fluid changes and cambelt intervals were met during the low-use period.
