Just an update since my last post back in 2017
I still have the Accord and its now passed 260,000 miles last week.
Recent repairs include
-New Upper control arm (driver side) worn bush)
-Upper power steering hose leak (remove and replace) - common issue on our cars
-Lower power steering cooler (rusted and perished)
Thats it.
Still has the original turbo/exhaust/clutch/DMF/timing chain/Wheel bearings
Keep on trucking!
Due to the ULEZ expansion next year in Aug 2023 the Accord may have to go.
Such a shame as its still a great car to drive and can easily achieve 60mpg. (around 70 mpg in the summer months)
It has never let me down and always starts every morning to go to work.
I have no idea what to replace it when the times comes that is ULEZ complaint and can do similar MPG.
Lexus IS300h perhaps? So expensive though

Surely Honda already have something up their sleeve that is ULEZ compliant, though it may not be in these waters quite yet.

This is great to see... I've just hit 177k and was thinking of trading it in for a 1.9 TDI But if the accord can manage the high miles I'll still with it alittle longer!

Hiya "justlurking"
Yep I still have it and its still going.
I recently acquired my brothers old 2002 Honda Jazz, that car will be used as my ULEZ car so the Accord can stay for now as my work commute doesn't involve any ULEZ roads
Its now at 282,802 miles - still going strong.
I just did the usual oil change yesterday, along with gearbox oil change, EGR valve clean, MAP and MAF sensor clean too.
All makes a word of difference. Especially the gearbox oil.
Very likely to achieve 300k or very close to it by the end of the year.
Got over 70 mpg on my commute this morning.
The Accord still impresses me after all these years.

Mine 2010 Honda accord GT 2.2 dtec diesel engine has 257000 miles or just over 410000 kilometres and still doesn't burn a drop of oil. And 55.3mpg .
My 2004 i-ctdi is currently on 231,000, ive had to replace many little bits over the years but nothing really major yet. Want to do an egr clean next.
Ive had it fail on emissions most years when I first got the car but have learnt how to clean it out now before the mot.

I decided to learn how to fix this car myself after being absolutely ripped off by a "mechanic" and a caliper that he couldnt sort out.
I've managed to fix everything from ball joints to stuck leaky injectors thanks to the forum and YouTube.

I'm on just over 113k and I've only had it 2 weeks. It's an amazing car, and drives like a new car!
I'm new to Accords and have one with 113k. I'd like to keep it forever! Do you use diesel additives to your fuel? If so, what ones and how often?
Hi, no not really, very occasionally ill put in Wynn's extreme cleaner and before the mot I've used cataclean a few times ( also had it fail with cataclean)
More importantly I change my oil twice a year and fuel filter once a year. It's important to use the OEM fuel filter and I use 0-30 fully synthetic. Engines been a peach so I don't really see the need for too many cleaners.
That's really useful thanks.
Yes, I do high ish miles about 17k a year, so I'll get it done regularly certainly!

Before leaving at the garage, take the car out for a few miles to get the engine up to temperature, then a few flying starts to burn stuff out of the exhaust and turbocharger. I believe a bit of engine braking will also help remove deposits on the turbo vanes,
