2008 Honda Accord 2.2L Diesel · RF08 NMX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 30 September 2025 with 108,498 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement as the owner proactively addressed critical failures identified in the previous year. While the September 2025 test initially failed due to obstructed light output on both headlamps, the immediate pass with no recorded defects indicates these issues were rectified and the vehicle currently meets minimum safety standards. At 18 years old, the recorded mileage of 108,498 miles represents an annual average of approximately 6,000 miles. This low usage is consistent with a light-use profile, which typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components. The data shows consistent intervals, with roughly 4,500 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and approximately 4,000 miles in the year prior that. This steady progression suggests a regular usage pattern rather than long periods of stationary neglect. A buyer should perform a close inspection of the rear braking system and suspension geometry due to recurring faults. The September 2023 test flagged binding on both rear nearside and offside brakes alongside an ABS warning lamp. Although the vehicle passed subsequent tests, a physical inspection must verify that the calipers remain free moving and that the ABS fault remains inactive during operation. Furthermore, the corrosion on the offside rear upper coil spring noted in 2023 requires a visual check of the underbody to confirm that rust has not progressed into structural failure on adjacent components. Given the age of the vehicle, checking rubber suspension bushes and mounting points is essential to ensure age-related degradation has not occurred despite the low mileage.
