Recommendation
Proceed With Caution
- Top finding 1
- Front tires — uneven inner-shoulder wear, 5/32 in remaining — MAJOR — replace before purchase or negotiate.
- Top finding 2
- Rear brakes — pads at 4 mm, rotors lightly glazed — MINOR — service within a few thousand miles.
- Top finding 3
- Battery — 78% health — MINOR — plan replacement within 12 months.
- Estimated immediate repairs
- $650
- Estimated near-term maintenance
- $350
- Price assessment
- Asking $18,900 (+10% vs estimate) · See Section 14 for more details
- Why this matters
- The car is mechanically sound with documented dealer servicing. Expect roughly $1,000 of tire and brake spending soon after purchase; use it in price negotiation.
03|Inspector’s narrative
- Summary of observed condition
- This Accord presents as a well-maintained, one-owner commuter car with consistent service history. The powertrain is healthy and the body is straight, but the front tires and rear brakes will need attention in the next few thousand miles. No structural damage, flood history, or outstanding safety recalls were identified.
- Most important positives
- Smooth cold start, no stored codes, straight body with factory panel gaps, complete dealer service history.
- Most important concerns
- Front tire wear pattern suggests skipped rotations and a possible alignment check; rear brakes approaching service.
- Recommended next steps
- Get a tire and alignment quote; ask the seller for the most recent alignment record.
Autoquiry does not state that a vehicle has no accident, flood, title or recall history unless the relevant source was actually checked.

Mileage red flags
Recorded odometer: 48,200 miles
Odometer fraud affects hundreds of thousands of cars each year. Compare the reading against these warning signs before you buy:
- Odometer reading lower than a previous title, service, or inspection record — a classic rollback sign.
- Wear that doesn't match the miles: shiny or worn pedals, steering wheel, driver's seat, and gear shifter on a 'low-mileage' car.
- Missing or inconsistent service history, or stickers (oil change, inspection) showing higher mileage than the dash.
- Dashboard warning lights, misaligned odometer digits, or tool marks around the instrument cluster.
- Title issued recently in another state, which can hide a previous odometer brand.

15|Final recommendation
PROCEED WITH CAUTION
- Basis
- Healthy powertrain and clean diagnostics, offset by near-term tire and brake costs.

Purchase Recommendation

- The inspection findings support proceeding with the purchase, subject to price and buyer preferences.
- PROCEED WITH CAUTION
- Consider purchasing only after evaluating the identified issues, potential repair costs, and asking price.
- NOT RECOMMENDED
