2005 Honda Accord 2.4L Petrol · RF55 UHT

Chronic wear of the front suspension linkages defines the mechanical profile of this vehicle, with lower suspension arm bushes flagged as worn across multiple years. While the vehicle passed its latest inspection on 2026-06-10, the trend indicates a progressive deterioration of the chassis components, as the most recent report now includes worn rear anti-roll bar bushes and corrosion on both rear coil springs. A recorded mileage of 132,704 miles over twenty-one years represents a consistent usage pattern of approximately 6,319 miles per annum. This level of accumulation is typical for the vehicle's age and suggests a steady operational history rather than periods of prolonged inactivity or excessive heavy-duty use. Mechanically, this mileage implies that while the drivetrain has seen regular use, the rubber components and suspension mounts are reaching the end of their natural service life. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the front and rear suspension systems during a physical inspection. The persistent advisories regarding the front lower suspension arm bushes and the newly flagged rear anti-roll bar bushes suggest the vehicle may exhibit vague steering response or audible knocks and thumps when traversing uneven road surfaces or speed bumps. The recorded corrosion on the rear coil springs is a point of concern that requires a visual check for structural integrity to ensure they are not nearing a point of failure. Brake system performance warrants specific scrutiny during a test drive, particularly following a 2025 report of a binding offside rear service brake. Listen for any dragging sounds or feel for an uneven pull during deceleration, and check for excessive heat emanating from the rear wheel after a short drive. Additionally, the worn brake pedal rubber noted in June 2026 is a minor safety concern that should be addressed to prevent the foot from slipping during emergency braking.
