2007 HONDA ACCORD 2.4 EX VIN 1HGCM56857A044867

This Honda Accord 2.4 EX was built in 2007. The car runs on petrol. Power reaches the wheels through an automatic gearbox. Details for this car come from a single data source and may differ from its documents.

At the time of recording, the car had covered 241,503 miles. Because the clock counts miles, any figure noted in kilometres has to be converted before the two can be compared. Gaps of several years between logged figures deserve attention, as does any reading lower than the one before it.

The record lists rear-end damage as the main problem on this car. Two cars with the same damage label can be very different: one needs a few new parts, the other major work.

When checked, the car could be started and driven under its own power. A key is on file for the car. Running condition describes a single moment, and standing or work done since can change it.

A salvage title is on file for this car. A title like this is issued when repair was judged uneconomical or unsafe. The structure and the quality of any work done deserve a thorough inspection on a car with a branded title.

Every car builds up a history from the day it is first registered: owners come and go, inspections are passed or failed, and repairs are paid for. A clean, polished car can still hide a serious accident, a flood or years of hard use.

On a petrol engine, spark plugs, ignition coils and the cooling system are the routine items a service history should cover. Automatic transmissions, CVTs included, are expensive to repair, so the test drive should include pulling away from a standstill and a stretch at motorway speed.

Stamped into the body and printed on a plate, the VIN is the one identifier that stays with a car through every owner, registration and repair. The VIN of this Honda Accord 2.4 EX is 1HGCM56857A044867. The VIN usually appears at the base of the windscreen, on a door pillar and stamped into the body, and all of them should match the documents.

What a history report can list depends on what has been documented about the car: registrations, mileage readings, damage, branded titles and theft reports. A repair paid for in cash at a small workshop leaves no trace in any database, so no report can list it. However complete the paperwork, only an inspection shows the condition of the body, suspension, brakes and electrics today.
