2009 Honda Accord 2.2L Diesel · RE09 OWM

The vehicle appears mechanically stable based on the available MOT data, though the records are now nearly three years out of date relative to July 2026. The most recent test on 24 July 2024 at 189,646 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean bill of health follows a similar pattern from 2022 and 2023, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. Mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the car. The vehicle covered 17,206 miles between June 2022 and July 2023, and a further 12,207 miles by July 2024. This averages to roughly 11,000 miles per year, indicating regular use rather than prolonged periods of standing. The lack of recorded defects across these mileage intervals is unusual for a car of this age and mileage, implying either a rigorous preventative maintenance regime or a very lenient testing history. A buyer must now prioritize a physical inspection of the chassis and suspension. While the MOT history shows no failures, cars of this era and mileage typically develop corrosion on the sills and suspension mounting points. You should specifically check for rust in the underbody and wheel arches, as these structural issues can develop rapidly during the three-year gap since the last recorded test. Inspect the brake discs for pitting and the tyres for perishing or cracking. Because the car has not had a recorded test since 2024, the current condition of consumables is unknown. Check for any signs of oil leaks from the engine or gearbox and verify the service history to ensure the timing belt and fluids have been changed in line with Honda's intervals, as the MOT record does not track internal engine maintenance.
