2011 Honda Accord 2.2L Diesel · VD11 VAD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than preventative care. In the most recent test conducted in November 2025 at 188,430 miles, the car passed only two days after failing on eleven separate items. While the immediate failures regarding wiper blades and headlamp alignment were addressed, the persistent presence of a minor exhaust leak, a deteriorated CV boot, and pitted brake discs suggests that the owner only performs the minimum requirements to pass the test rather than addressing underlying component wear. At 188,430 miles, this 2011 Honda Accord reflects high mileage averaging over 12,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent use, with approximately 7,000 miles covered between October 2023 and November 2024, and another 2,800 miles in the year leading up to the latest test. This high mileage puts significant stress on the drivetrain and suspension components. The recurring advisories regarding tyre wear and suspension bushes highlight that the vehicle is operating near the end of many major component lives. A buyer must inspect the nearside front outer drive shaft specifically, as the severely deteriorated CV boot noted in late 2025 often leads to joint failure if not replaced immediately. The rear anti-roll bar pins and bushes have been flagged as worn, indicating developing suspension play that will likely cause clunking and affect handling. Furthermore, the pitted and scored brake discs across all wheels suggest that the braking system is nearing replacement intervals to ensure safe stopping performance. The PTG error on the dashboard also requires a diagnostic check, as it indicates a persistent sensor or electronic fault that remains unresolved.
