The HONDA ACCORD (1998-03) 4DR SALOON 2.2 TYPE R AC is a Japanese four-door sports saloon: roomier and more practical than a hatchback, but much rarer and more focused than an ordinary family Accord. In the UK used-car market it appeals to enthusiasts seeking a capable classic rather than a modern commuter car. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 751 look-ups covering 230 different VINs, a useful sample for this distinctive model. Check data shows an average most recent recorded mileage of 133,000 miles and average annual use of 4,000 miles, suggesting many examples are now occasional-use cars. The average recorded number of previous keepers is about six, so condition and service history can vary considerably. The average private-sale valuation is £500; treat this as a broad data snapshot, not a price promise, and check the individual car carefully. Accord Type R brings extra driver appeal over family saloon rivals, with everyday practicality. It best suits keen drivers wanting a characterful saloon for weekend enjoyment or occasional use, rather than buyers prioritising low running costs or the latest features.
