2004 Honda Accord 2.0L Petrol · DC53 FLX

The 2004 Honda Accord presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 January 2026 at 62,106 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. Recorded mileage sits at 62,106 against 22 years of age, an average of roughly 2,823 miles per year. The DVSA entries show tight annual increments: 57,774 miles in January 2022, 59,106 in January 2023, 60,208 in January 2024, 61,007 in January 2025, and 62,106 in January 2026. The car covered only 1,332 miles across the full four-year span. Such low, steady use with no gaps implies a lightly driven vehicle that has stood for extended periods between tests rather than accumulated motorway wear. No advisories or failures appear in the history, so the record gives no direct signal of suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions issues. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills and subframe, as structural rust can develop on a 22-year-old car left standing regardless of a clean MOT. The tester noted no binding calipers or worn coil springs, yet aged rubber components and flat-spotted tyres from long storage remain plausible and warrant a hands-on check. Given the sparse but clean history, previous owners appear to have kept basic statutory testing current without neglect of test compliance. The low mileage suggests consumable wear is minimal, though fluid degradation and perished seals from inactivity are the more likely risks than high-mileage mechanical fatigue.
