2006 Honda Accord I Ctdi Sport 2.2L Heavy oil · IFZ 4905

The most recent MOT test on 17 February 2023 at 145,867 miles resulted in a failure with no defects recorded, leaving the vehicle's current roadworthiness unverified and the maintenance trend indeterminate. The prior test on 1 October 2021 at 141,274 miles passed with no advisories. A failure entry carrying no listed defects suggests an administrative or presentation anomaly in the record rather than a documented mechanical fault, but the absence of a valid pass within the last three years means the car is not currently legally roadworthy. The odometer advanced only 4,593 miles between October 2021 and February 2023, equating to roughly 2,750 miles per year and well below the lifetime average of about 7,293 miles annually. This tapering usage implies the car entered a period of light running or intermittent storage in its later life. The 20-year span to 145,867 miles remains consistent with typical private motoring, though the sparse two-entry history offers little insight into consumable replacement cycles or hidden intermittent faults. A buyer must commission a fresh MOT and full mechanical inspection before purchase. The 2023 failure with no recorded defects demands clarification from DVSA or the testing station, as it may mask unlogged corrosion, brake, or suspension issues. Given the age, examine front suspension bushes, coil springs, subframe corrosion, and brake disc wear at the wheels. The clean 2021 pass with zero advisories shows no outstanding wear flags at that point, yet 4.5 years of elapsed time since the last satisfactory test leaves tyres, wiper blades, exhaust emissions, and structural integrity unverified. Treat the low recent mileage as a risk for perished rubber and seized calipers through standing, not as evidence of gentle care.
