2007 Honda Accord 2.2L Diesel · LB07 ABK

The 2007 Honda Accord shows a passed MOT from 21 December 2021 at 174,845 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy on paper at last test. The maintenance trend reads as stable yet sparse, with the most recent clean pass following two failed tests earlier that month and in 2020 where the tester logged no defects. Such empty failure entries suggest administrative or presentation anomalies rather than resolved mechanical faults, so the record offers limited reassurance about ongoing condition. Mileage sat at 159,362 on 26 September 2019, rose to 167,268 by 28 September 2020, and reached 174,845 by 21 December 2021. That equates to roughly 8,000 miles per year across the logged period, close to the 9,202 annual average for a 19-year-old car. The DVSA data stops in December 2021, leaving a gap of over four and a half years to today with no further tests logged; the vehicle may since have been laid up or run without valid MOT, which raises standing-time and unseen-wear concerns. Given the two defect-free failures on 16 December 2021 and 28 September 2020, a buyer should scrutinise the test station paperwork or seek the physical refusal notices, as the reason for failure is absent from the supplied record. The absence of advisories across all entries does not confirm sound suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural integrity at 174,845 miles; these components typically degrade on a high-mileage 2007 chassis. Inspect in person for corrosion to subframes and sills, check brake calipers for binding after a road test, and verify exhaust emissions against current limits. The clean 2021 pass alone is insufficient evidence of care; previous owners may have addressed only minimum test requirements rather than preventative upkeep.
