2005 Honda Accord 2.2L Diesel · LT55 HVS

The 2025‑01‑30 MOT at 188,867 miles passed, confirming roadworthiness, but the record shows recurring wear on the front brake disc, thin brake pads, off‑side front and rear suspension bushes and a tyre worn on the inner edge; the maintenance trend remains stable with no major new failures beyond these consumable items. Mileage has risen from 157,464 miles in August 2016 to 188,867 miles by January 2025, an increase of roughly 31,400 miles over nine years, or about 3,500 miles per year, which is below the typical 9,000 miles per year for a 21‑year‑old vehicle and indicates consistent, moderate use without extended periods of standing. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension system closely, paying particular attention to the condition of the front and rear arm bushes, ball joints and anti‑roll bar links, which have repeatedly been flagged for wear; the brake discs and pads, shown worn or thin in every recent test, merit a physical measurement, while tyre tread depth and edge wear should be verified, and any signs of structural rust or corrosion on the chassis should be examined. Overall, the vehicle is presently road‑legal, but the pattern of recurring suspension and brake wear suggests that prospective purchasers should conduct a detailed in‑person examination of those components before committing to a purchase.
