2009 Honda Accord 2.2L Diesel · DA59 PSZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While it passed its most recent test on June 4 2026 at 136,418 miles, this followed a significant failure just six days prior. That failure identified multiple issues including worn inner suspension components and a track rod end. The presence of a missing split pin on the offside front lower ball joint in the latest pass suggests that critical safety-related components were only addressed once a failure was imminent, rather than being serviced during routine intervals. At 136,418 miles over 17 years, the Honda Accord averages approximately 8,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent movement, with roughly 2,400 miles driven between June 2024 and June 2025, and another 2,500 miles in the year leading up to the June 2026 tests. This low annual mileage does not mask mechanical wear, as the recurring suspension faults show that rubber and metal are degrading despite the low distance covered. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry and bushings. The record repeatedly flags track rod end dust covers and inner suspension pins across both 2024 and 2026, indicating a systemic failure of front-end wear components. The general corrosion noted underneath in May 2024 also requires a close look at the structural integrity of the sills and mounting points to ensure the rust has not progressed beyond surface level. Ensure the battery is now properly secured as it was previously flagged as insecure.
