2005 Honda Accord 2.2L Diesel · CU05 UNS

The Honda Accord passed its most recent MOT on 8 May 2025 at 188,929 miles with no defects recorded, indicating the vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status. The maintenance trend appears stable across the three years of available history, with each annual test ultimately resulting in a pass and no advisories or mechanical faults logged by the tester at any stage. Mileage progression shows typical use for a 21-year-old vehicle. The record moves from 164,924 miles at the April 2023 test to 177,593 miles on the failed 2024 entry and 177,596 on the pass one day later, then to 188,929 miles by May 2025. That equates to roughly 11,000 to 12,000 miles per year between tests, marginally above the 8,997 annual average implied by the total. No gaps or sudden accumulation are present, and the clean advisory history suggests the previous owner kept the car to a basic pass standard without neglected consumables reaching the test bay. The May 2024 and May 2025 records each show a fail on one day followed by a pass on the next at near-identical mileage, with no defects listed on either attempt. This pattern points to administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than recurring mechanical faults such as worn suspension bushes, corroded structures, or failing brake discs. The DVSA data gives no cause to suspect worsening brake binding, exhaust emissions breaches, or coil spring fatigue. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underside corrosion given the vehicle's age and 188,929 miles. Though the MOT shows no flagged items, the absence of advisories across three tests on a two-decade-old car warrants verification of tyre condition, suspension wear, and brake caliper operation before purchase.
