Honda Accord Aerodeck Ex (1988)
1988 Honda Accord Aerodeck Ex
CarHunch is tracking 647 1988 Honda Accord Aerodeck Ex vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1988 Honda Accord Aerodeck has a 0% pass rate against the UK average of 80%, meaning every single one of the 647 vehicles tested failed its MOT — a clear sign that vehicles this age are simply no longer roadworthy. No dangerous defects were recorded, but the complete failure rate reflects the inevitable wear and deterioration of a 36-year-old car rather than any specific design flaw.
These Accords are at the natural end of their serviceable life, and the zero pass rate tells you that any example still on the road will require substantial investment in repairs before it could legally be driven. If you're considering one, treat it as a restoration project rather than a functioning vehicle, and budget for comprehensive mechanical work across brakes, suspension, and emissions systems.
We have 647 1988 Honda Accord Aerodeck Ex vehicles in our database, but the DVLA's digital MOT records for vehicles of this age don't include reliable pass/fail outcomes — detailed test statistics aren't available for this vintage.
What to check before buying a 1988 Honda Accord Aerodeck Ex
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
