2005 Honda Accord 2.4L Petrol · KP54 GVJ

The 2005 Honda Accord presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 13 February 2026 at 260,056 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. The vehicle has cleared every annual examination for the past three consecutive years without advisories, indicating consistent statutory compliance. The earlier failure on 18 February 2023 at 237,981 miles was rectified within four days and the car passed on 22 February 2023 at 237,985 miles, showing the previous owner addressed the issue promptly rather than deferring repairs. At roughly 21 years old the Accord carries 260,056 recorded miles, equating to about 12,384 miles per year, which is high for its age and points to sustained regular use rather than long periods standing idle. Mileage advanced from 237,985 in February 2023 to 248,356 in February 2024, then 258,060 in February 2025 and 260,056 in February 2026, a tapering accumulation that dropped from nearly 11,000 annual miles to just under 2,000 in the final year. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, with no advisories logged across any pass, so the record alone reveals little about wear on consumables or hidden corrosion. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high lifetime mileage and advancing age. The clean MOT history offers no warning on structural integrity or exhaust emissions, yet testers often miss early subframe corrosion on older Hondas, so underside checks remain prudent. Verify the rectification behind the February 2023 failure through prior workshop invoices, as the record shows no defects listed for either the fail or the pass.
