Can A 200,000 Mile Honda Accord Pass An Inspection?

If your Accord can't pass inspection at 200,000 miles, then you've done something wrong as a car owner.

Any car will pass 200k inspection if you take care of it and on a Sunday, every Sunday, do all the things it tells you to do in the owners manual. Keep an eye on tires before every journey, change fluids regularly, re apply wax coating every 6 months and have the car underbody sprayed and sealed against corrosion every 12 months etc etc.... Most things in this world last a very long time if you take care of them. If you just jump in your car every day without any more thought then turning the key, then your car won't last 5 years without running into some kind of trouble. As a prime example, theres an old man round the corner from me with a mint condition, totally stock turn-key MK1 Ford Escort he's had since new. Looks as good as it did the day it rolled out the factory. No over revving the engine, no burnouts, no handbrake turns... Just his transport from A to B. Every weekend you'll find the guy washing it and waxing it. Its only because we younger folk have got used to living in a one-use disposable society that shit don't last. Sure, we blame the manufacturers, but the real reason? We just don't take care of our shit no more.

[@subaruimpreza298]

Sly Fox You are right that maintenance is important. However, Id rather pay for repairs than never reving the engine or doing handbrake turns. I assume most car guys would agree with me that cars are more than a A-to-B device. Fun costs money.

[@taz874]

a car is more thna just an A to B. i mean yes you need to look after it but we all like to have fun in our cars once in a while the occasional over revving etc. yes if your always over revving the engine then your a total idiot

[@superXwhiteXninja]

That old guy also probably drives 10x less than the average commuter.

[@bezlichnyy7675]

I agree with you to a certain point, some people are neglectful. However, consider other criteria such as the expenses in repairing or maintaining a car. Consider that most mechanics or shops aren't as economical as the "econoboxes" developed by car manufactures. Consider that cars come with expenses such as government mandated auto insurances(could use that money for maintenance), taxes, registration, inspections, and other miscellaneous expenses. A car is an expenditure even with proper care.

[@bloqk16]

This reminds me of my '91 Civic I had, with after 235K miles, and with a broken drivetrain, it was best to walk away from it. I had the car for 21 years, and while the auto trans shifted fine, and the engine didn't burn oil, there were a cumulative amount of other issues that made it financially unfeasible to sink money into the car: The shock absorbers/Macperhson struts were factory originals, the streering was getting loose, radiator needed replacement, it was overdue for a engine tuneup, the brakes were probably in need of replacement parts, the bodywork was banged up in spots . . . and the electricals can become suspect when a vehicle gets that old. While some out there feels that 235K is not much for mileage, take into consideration much of those miles were CITY driving . . . with loads of stop-and-go . . . that really puts a lot of wear on a vehicle . . . as opposed to the steady running of a vehicle on the highways. Facing the reality that the car was near its last legs, I planned for a worse-case scenario for the car, as I carried the vehicle owner's certificate and blank bill-of-sale papers with me on a 1K roadtrip; where the drivetrain broke upon reaching my destination . . . where the car was still driveable, but acceleration was slow due to power to a single drivewheel. The Honda dealership's service department asked if I wanted the repair done, I said, "Nah!" And asked if there was a mechanic that's be interested in the vehicle. A young guy working as a mechanic was interested, I signed-over the vehicle to him, where I walked to a nearby car rental place and rented a Chevy Impala for the rest of my trip. It was a treat to drive a car with the kind of horses it had! Awaiting at home was my secondary vehicle, a Toyota pickup truck, which is now my sole vehicle transportation. A year later I visited the Honda dealership to see what the fate of that '91 Civic was. The mechanic was no longer around, but others knew of the vehicle, where they said that guy sunk thousands of dollars in parts, alone, to get it up to proper, and safe, running order again. So, if I had kept the car and had efforts made to fully put it back into good repair, when factoring in the cost of labor, I could have run up a $10K repair tab on a vehicle I paid $16K for in 1991.

[@johnbernardez1232]

I dont understand the logic of repairing vs buying a new one. If it costs 10k for parts and labour to give another life to an old car it would still be cheaper than 20-30k for a base model of a new car. I guess the other solution is that that 10k would be better spent on a used car no more than 3 to 5 years old with relatively low miles

[@bloqk16]

@@johnbernardez1232 An intangible factor of why I abandoned that 20 year old car with 235K miles, or 378K Km, even if I had gone ahead to do all the known repairs done, was the aspect of the other aged parts in the car that could be prone to failure from age and wear, which could mean being stranded and making future periodic visits to the repair shop; and I'm the type of person that doesn't have the patience to do that kind of on-going regiment in my life. In a way it would be similar to having a low-mileage, or low kilometers, vehicle that could be classified as what is referred to in the US as a "lemon:" a vehicle that has on-going issues with reliability; requiring frequent visits to the automotive repair shop. What I found out about my abandoned vehicle with the new owner, and this was from second-hand sources, was that the automatic transmission was on the verge of breakage and needed replacement. A broken transmission can leave a motorist stranded. The engine's valve-train was worn out; a failed valve-train could have left the motorist stranded. There were also electrical shorts that created malfunctions with the electrical charging system, the display of the instrumentation, and even getting the vehicle started on hot days. Again, such malfunctions could leave the motorist stranded. Driving a high-mileage/kilometers vehicle that has reliability issues hanging over it, with the emotional anxiety of wondering what will fail next that could leave me stranded; and the frequent expense of keeping the vehicle running, those were motivating factors why I chose to give up the vehicle. Of course, having a low-mileage/kilometers second vehicle at the ready helped considerably with that decision.

What makes me laugh is here in the U.S. many states have annual inspections but in ultra-liberal California you can have a car literally held together with duct tape and rust and it's drive-able because we have no inspection. Just a bi-annual emissions test which isn't a issue if you know the right people...

[@minecraftperson999]

rompn4x here in Australia most of our states have annual roadworthy inspections too but luckily for me in my state (Western Australia) we don’t have any inspections at all, and I hope we never get them they’re nothing but a time and money wasting inconvenience

My Old 1991 Honda Accord was a wannabe racecar by the time I sold it a few years ago. I had literally rebuilt it from the ground up. Full exhaust, intake, 100% new suspension with Poly bushings and Coilovers that were fully adjustable. Wheels, extra wide tires and wheels the works. I LOVED that car. Passed all inspections (as I did my mods legally and correctly) It was an absolute blast to drive. But I did AC delete and needed something more family oriented and sold it.........soooo sad Bought a Brand New Honda Fit. Love it as it's a solid good cheap car with AC but damn.... I miss my old Project.

Nope, it's in horrible condition compared to all the Hondas in my family. Just sold my old 02 Civic to my cousin and bout the new hatch. 234,000 miles and runs and sounds great and the interior is in great condition.

[@thegtiguy960]

Wow MOT is a lot stricter than a US state inspection because here; rear pads and rotors and you'd be good to go.

[@xraceboyex]

why are you guys talking about rear brakes? the front does 70-80% of the braking. you could disconnect your rear brakes and you'd hardly feel a difference

[@BrieoRobino]

peter2011tc that depends on the state. Some don't even have inspections.

[@thegtiguy960]

true

[@theWolfXLIV]

He's wrong about that tyre. Only the central 3/4 of the tread has to be 1.6mm or above in tread depth, the edges could be as bald as Harry Hill and still pass an MoT. As long as the cords aren't showing that is.

[@matthewbanta3240]

In the US, registering cars depends on the state. That is why each state has a different license plate. Whether on not you need an inspection and when depends on the state. Some states have a serious inspection every year or two or when the car is sold to someone else. Other states have less serious inspections every once in a while. But there are plenty of states where the car can go hundreds of thousands of miles without needing any type of government inspection for either safety or emissions. You can drive the car until it completely turns to rust.

[@pizzamon795]

@@JanZamani 2003 honda accord v6 6-speed manual. 279,000 now. The original starter just went out last week, 279k and 16.4 years old. I had it rebuilt. I wait for the maintenance minder to tell me when to change the oil, that's between 6,000 and 7,500 miles. I always use Pennzoil platinum synthetic and a cheap Fram filter. I replace the filter ever time I change the oil. It still has the original fuel pump and clutch. I replace the engine last year at about 273,000 because I ruined it not because it went bad. I over revved it on accident, I went to shift into 5th at red line and I went into 3rd on accident. It still ran for another 50,000 miles but it slowly lost power to the point to where it was a hassle to drive. I did take the old motor apart to see if my oil change schedule was good enough and it was. There was nearly no build up anywhere, it was clean inside. Anything specific you wanna know, ask away.

[@HankJr.]

If the car is well taken care of then it should no problem. My 08 Impala just passed inspection in June with 205,000 miles on it. Just had to go home and fix my license plate light and that was it. Take care of your vehicle and she'll last you.

[@danmackintosh6325]

I think technically it'd be an advisory but given how badly worn it is it shouldn't be used. (tester may be able to fail it for wear/damage to the shoulder/sidewall at least). If the car still has the condition that caused the wear then it'd be down to metal in under 50 miles.

[@mspenrice]

Yes, of course it can, so long as it's been properly maintained. By which I mean "pay attention to the basics", rather than pampering it like a fancy poodle. My dad's did with no trouble at all, and he bought it secondhand for a pittance at about 160,000, and just kept up the regular oil changes, didn't absolutely rag it all the time, gave it an occasional sponge wash, etc. Then sold it for more than he originally paid.
