2011 Honda Accord 2.2L Diesel · RV11 YKS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy based on the most recent inspection held on 30 March 2026 at 153,546 miles. This test passed despite flagging minor defects, specifically noting worn and pitted rear brake discs and slight play in the offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint. The history shows a stable trend of minor mechanical wear rather than a worsening condition, suggesting that routine maintenance, particularly concerning suspension and braking components, is required to prevent future advisories. Mileage accumulation over the past year has been consistent, averaging approximately 10,236 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The record shows a clear pattern of incremental wear. For instance, the 2025 test at 141,364 miles was clean, but the subsequent failure at the same mileage indicated excessive wear on anti-roll bar pins and bushes. This pattern confirms that the vehicle has experienced normal operational wear, and the recorded issues are consistent with expected component fatigue. A buyer should thoroughly inspect the suspension system, paying close attention to the anti-roll bar pins and bushes, as these components have failed testing twice in quick succession. Furthermore, the condition of the brake discs should be checked for scoring or pitting, as noted in the most recent inspection. The history also indicates recurring issues with front brake pad wear, suggesting that the brake pads should be assessed for thickness and that the brake system should be serviced promptly. The deterioration of registration plates and minor lamp failures noted across multiple tests are cosmetic and do not affect roadworthiness. The overall mechanical integrity remains sound, provided the identified suspension and braking components are addressed according to the findings of the 2026 MOT record.
