2010 Honda Accord 2.4L Petrol · SC10 UWR

This 2010 Honda Accord shows a history of recurring mechanical and structural issues that require close monitoring. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 171,427 miles was a pass, it followed a failure just one month prior. The maintenance trend suggests a stable but reactive approach, with faults in the suspension, exhaust, and braking system appearing repeatedly across multiple testing intervals. The vehicle currently remains roadworthy, but the frequency of advisories indicates that components are reaching the end of their operational life. At 171,427 miles, the car has averaged approximately 10,700 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There was a significant gap in mileage between January 2024 at 157,583 miles and January 2025 at 164,993 miles, representing only 7,410 miles of use. The high overall mileage correlates with the wear seen on consumables such as tyres and suspension bushes which are noted throughout the record. A buyer must physically inspect the structural integrity of the vehicle, as both the front and rear subframes have been consistently flagged as corroded but not seriously weakened. This is a long-term condition that requires regular monitoring for thinning. The exhaust system also shows a persistent minor leak at the flexi joint which has been noted for several years, indicating a weakness that has not been fully rectified. The suspension and braking systems require attention due to recurring failures. The offside anti-roll bar linkage and front suspension arms have been flagged for play and wear multiple times. Additionally, the history shows persistent corrosion on the brake hose ferrules and a previous fluid leak from the offside rear caliper. Given the recent advisory regarding front tyres being near the legal limit or having cords potentially exposed, the buyer should budget for immediate consumable replacements and further investigation of the suspension geometry.
