Honda Accord I SE (1993)
1993 Honda Accord I SE
CarHunch is tracking 223 1993 Honda Accord I SE vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1993 Honda Accord has a 40% first-time pass rate—far below the UK average of 80%—which signals serious reliability issues for a car now over 30 years old. The petrol variants show a 0% pass rate across 221 vehicles tested, meaning every single one failed its MOT, a genuinely alarming result that reflects the age and condition of surviving examples rather than any design flaw.
These cars average nearly 88,000 miles and show zero recorded dangerous defects, zero failures, and zero advisories in the aggregated data, which is statistically impossible and suggests the MOT records are either incomplete or these vehicles aren't being tested consistently. If you're considering a 1993 Accord, treat any example as a full restoration project: at this age, a 40% pass rate means you're buying a car that will need significant work to pass its next test, so budget for major repairs and inspect any candidate thoroughly before purchase.
We have 223 1993 Honda Accord I SE vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 1993 Honda Accord I SE
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.
