2005 Honda Accord 2.2L Diesel · FG55 ERJ

The 2005 Honda Accord presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 September 2025 at 132,083 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 23 September 2024 at 130,266 miles confirms the vehicle has cleared successive annual examinations without outstanding advisories. The upkeep pattern shows consistency rather than deterioration. Recorded mileage sits at 132,083 against an age of roughly 21 years, equating to about 6,290 miles per year, which is typical for the model's age. The DVSA log shows 123,625 miles on 9 September 2022, rising to 126,121 by 31 August 2023, then 130,266 at the September 2024 tests, and 132,083 in September 2025. Annual accumulation stays near 2,000 to 4,000 miles with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps. The history is sparse on faults, showing only a failed test on 11 September 2024 at 130,266 miles with no defects listed, reversed by a pass twelve days later, suggesting an administrative or unlogged minor rectification rather than mechanical neglect. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points, as the MOT entries carry no advisories yet a 21-year-old Honda chassis can hide rust away from test ramps. The front suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant physical measurement given the age and the unexplained September 2024 failure. Verify the exhaust emissions and binding calipers during a road test, since the clean record offers no early warning of wear on these consumable items.
