2003 Honda Accord 2.0L Petrol · SA03 CCU

The most recent MOT on 2026-03-24 recorded a pass but listed multiple corrosion-related issues and worn suspension components . These included corroded coil springs, sub-frames, and suspension bushings, as well as light oil misting on rear shock absorbers. The same date also showed a failed MOT with similar defects, suggesting unresolved or recurring problems. This inconsistency may indicate that repairs were not fully addressed or that the vehicle’s condition is deteriorating. Recurring defects over the past three years highlight corrosion as a persistent concern. Corrosion on sub-frames, coil springs, and chassis components (notably near mounting points) suggests exposure to moisture or poor maintenance. Suspension issues, such as worn bushings and corroded anti-roll bars, have been repeatedly noted, raising safety risks for handling and stability. Brake discs have also shown progressive wear, with pitting and scoring recorded in 2025 and 2024. The mileage of 104,980 miles for a 23-year-old vehicle is unusually low (approx. 4,564 miles per year).
