2008 Honda Accord 2.2L Diesel · RF08 NLU

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, showing a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection on 29 September 2025 at 117,590 miles passed with no recorded defects, following a failure just three days prior. This pattern suggests that the current owner is proactive in addressing immediate mechanical failures to ensure a valid certificate. The lack of recurring advisories across the last three tests indicates that the vehicle has been kept in a good condition regarding its primary safety-critical components. The recorded mileage of 117,590 miles over 18 years reflects an average usage of approximately 6,533 miles per annum. This aligns with typical low road use for a saloon of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 7,000 miles covered between October 2023 and October 2024, and another 5,000 miles between October 2024 and September 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often leads to the degradation of seals and fluid components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and rubberwork, despite the clean MOT history. Given the age of the Honda Accord, corrosion on the chassis sills and rear suspension mounting points remains a priority as MOT tests only flag significant structural rust. While the record shows no suspension failures, the age of control arm bushes should be checked for cracking or tearing, as these perish regardless of mileage. Checking the brake system for signs of binding or uneven wear will also ensure the recent passes reflect a healthy mechanical system.
