2013 Honda Accord 2.2L Diesel · FH13 FRK

The most recent MOT on 2025-08-08 recorded the offside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit and edge wear, alongside corrosion on the underside of the vehicle and a corroded, insecure fuel tank guard. These findings align with a recurring pattern of tyre wear and corrosion observed in prior tests. The 2024 MOT noted similar nearside front tyre wear and general corrosion, while 2022 highlighted perishing rear tyres and thinning front brake pads. The 2023 MOT identified a pitted rear brake disc, though not seriously weakened. The primary risk pattern involves tyre condition and corrosion. Tyre wear near legal limits has persisted across multiple MOTs, suggesting either ongoing maintenance neglect or uneven usage. Corrosion on the vehicle’s underside and fuel tank guard has also been consistently reported, indicating potential exposure to moisture or road salt. These issues are not isolated to a single test, pointing to a gradual, unresolved degradation rather than a sudden decline. The vehicle’s mileage of 76,525 miles over 13 years equates to approximately 5,887 miles annually, which is low for its age. This could imply lighter use or prolonged periods of inactivity, both of which may contribute to corrosion and uneven tyre wear.
