Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2003 model year cars.
- Rear Arch, Sill and Floor CorrosionSerious
Rust around the rear arches, sill ends and floor edges is the defining UK problem on surviving Mk6 Accords, and welding costs can quickly exceed the value of average cars.
- Front Suspension Bush and Ball Joint WearModerate
The Accord’s front suspension usually stays quiet for years, but ageing bushes and lower ball joints eventually cause knocks, vague steering and uneven tyre wear.
- Air-Conditioning Condenser or Compressor FailureModerate
Older Accords often lose air-conditioning performance because the front condenser corrodes or the compressor clutch wears out.
