Our Verdict
Exercise extreme caution before consider
If you proceed with an inspection, prioritize a thorough check of the underside. The MOT history shows a recurring theme of corrosion, specifically on the inner sills and suspension mounting areas. You should ask for evidence that the reported corrosion on the offside inner sill and the brake/fuel pipe issues identified in May and June 2026 have been professionally rectified, rather than just patched.
Running costs for this 2.0L petrol Accord will be influenced by its age and emissions standards. Expect moderate fuel economy typical of a 2000-era petrol engine. Tax and insurance groups will depend on the specific engine output, but as a 26-year-old vehicle, insurance may be more accessible, though older models can sometimes face higher premiums due to parts availability.
A critical inspection must be carried out on the vehicle's chassis and sills. The MOT history specifically mentions corrosion on the offside inner sill and previous issues with the nearside rear suspension component mounting area. You should also inspect the fuel and brake lines for signs of corrosion or grease covering, as noted in the June 2026 test.
This 2000 Honda Accord, finished in red, has covered 132,258 miles since its first registration. While the mileage is relatively consistent with its age, the recent MOT history shows a pattern of failures related to corrosion, exhaust leaks, and braking system components. The most recent tests in 2026 highlight multiple concerns regarding fuel and brake pipes, as well as structural corrosion on the inner sill.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 75% MOT pass rate, with common failures involving headlamps, anti-roll bars, and exhausts.
