1991 Honda Accord 2.0L Petrol · J351 CYA

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-04-17 at 159,809 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Previous tests from 2024-04-25 (157,793 miles) and 2023-02-16 (155,050 miles) also passed without issues, though a failure on 2024-02-28 at 157,789 miles noted no defects. This suggests the car has generally met roadworthiness standards, with no recurring mechanical or structural concerns flagged in the last three years. The absence of advisories or critical failures in recent tests implies consistent upkeep, though the single unexplained failure warrants scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 159,809 miles over 35 years equates to approximately 4,566 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage could indicate infrequent operation or prolonged storage, which may affect components like seals, hoses, and electrical systems. Mileage increments between tests show steady growth, with 153,754 miles in 2022 rising to 159,809 by 2025, but no abrupt spikes or gaps that suggest erratic use. The clean MOT history since 2023 implies no major mechanical deterioration, though the low mileage may mask wear in systems requiring regular activity. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension, particularly bushes and coil springs, which may degrade without frequent use. Corrosion risks in the exhaust system and body panels are heightened by the car’s age, even if not flagged in MOTs. The absence of brake-related defects in recent tests is reassuring, but a physical check of brake discs and calipers is advised to confirm no hidden binding or wear. Structural integrity should also be verified, as rust or fatigue in the chassis could develop over decades, even with low mileage.
