2015 Honda Accord 2.2L Diesel · RF64 BWG

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding structural and mechanical degradation. While the most recent test in June 2025 at 76,544 miles resulted in a pass, it revealed an accumulation of advisories related to corrosion and suspension wear. The transition from a clean record in 2023 to multiple failures and advisories in 2024 and 2025 indicates that the vehicle is entering a phase where age-related components are requiring proactive attention to prevent future failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. There is a significant gap in data between the January 2023 test at 50,805 miles and the January 2024 test at 59,716 miles, during which the car covered nearly 9,000 miles. Since then, the vehicle has covered another 16,828 miles in 17 months. This relatively low annual mileage often contributes to the observed degradation of rubber components and structural surfaces rather than high-mile engine wear. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and suspension assembly. The tester has repeatedly flagged corrosion on the front and rear sub-frames, as well as the vehicle structure itself. While not yet classified as seriously weakened, the presence of corrosion on both front coil springs suggests a risk of imminent structural failure. The recurring reports of worn suspension arm bushes in both 2024 and 2025 indicate that the front end geometry is nearing the end of its life. The braking system also requires scrutiny due to the nearside rear brake binding noted in early 2024, which should be checked for seized calipers or uneven wear. The history shows consistent inner edge wear on front tyres, which points to an alignment issue exacerbated by the worn suspension components. Given the insecure heat shield and perishing tyres mentioned in recent records, the buyer should verify that these minor items have actually been addressed since the June 2025 inspection.
