2012 Honda Accord 2.0L Petrol · DN62 TWW

This 2012 Honda Accord has covered approximately 109,881 miles over its 14-year lifespan, averaging roughly 7,800 miles per year. This is a very typical usage profile, suggesting the vehicle has been driven consistently rather than left to sit for long periods or subjected to extreme high-mileage motorway use. The vehicle's mechanical condition appears to be in a state of gradual decline. While the most recent MOT in May 2026 resulted in a pass, it flagged several advisory items that indicate the car is beginning to suffer from age-related degradation. The presence of perishing tyres on both front wheels and a corroded coil spring on the offside rear suggests that rubber components and suspension parts are reaching the end of their service life. A recurring pattern in the history is the vulnerability of the suspension and braking systems. In 2023, the car required attention for worn suspension arm bushes, and in 2024, it showed signs of binding rear brakes. These issues, combined with the current advisory for a corroded coil spring, point to a vehicle that now requires more frequent maintenance to keep it roadworthy. The transition from a clean pass in 2025 to a list of four advisories in 2026 suggests that the owner may have been deferring minor maintenance, and you should expect to spend money on suspension and tyre replacements in the near future. The mileage is neither exceptionally high nor low, meaning you should not assume the car has been abused, but you must acknowledge that at 14 years old, the car is entering a phase where major components like springs, bushes, and braking hardware will naturally fail due to metal fatigue and rubber hardening.
