2008 Honda Accord 2.2L Diesel · KV58 SXW

This vehicle has passed its most recent MOT in May 2026, but the report contains warnings regarding binding rear brakes and front tyres that are worn close to the legal limit. There is a concerning pattern of recurring and worsening mechanical issues. While the 2024 test was clean, the 2025 entry shows a failure involving steering rack play, worn suspension arm bushes, and structural corrosion on the nearside front sill. The fact that rear brake binding was noted in both 2025 and 2026 suggests a persistent fault that has not been fully rectified. The overall condition trend is worsening. The transition from a defect-free report in 2024 to a failure in 2025 and subsequent advisories in 2026 indicates that the vehicle is now experiencing a higher rate of component failure and wear. The recorded mileage of 180,032 miles is typical for an 18-year-old car. This average usage suggests that wear on the drivetrain, suspension, and brakes is consistent with its age, but it also means many high-wear components may be reaching the end of their natural lifespan. A buyer should first inspect the rear brakes for signs of overheating or sticking and check the steering for any looseness or play. It is also critical to physically examine the nearside front sill for the extent of the corrosion mentioned in the 2025 report to ensure it has not progressed.
