2013 Honda Accord: petrol or diesel?

Petrol, diesel and hybrid versions go wrong in different ways, so each has its own figures from the MOTs these cars had during 2023–2025. Pick the one you’re looking at: the fuel is on the logbook and in the car’s MOT history.

Petrol 76% pass first time (all 2013 cars: 67%) Nothing stands out above the usual rate 385 MOTsSee the petrol guide › Diesel 73% pass first time (all 2013 cars: 67%) Stands out: anti-roll bar bushes and joints 11×, headlights 2.1×, braking performance 1.9× 1,078 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›

Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
