The HONDA ACCORD (1998-03) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.8 S AUTO4 is a roomy, petrol-powered family hatchback from Honda’s late-1990s Accord range. In the UK market it sits above small runabouts, offering a more substantial alternative to a city car, with five doors and an automatic gearbox that can make everyday driving simpler. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 22 checks across 16 distinct VINs, so the figures offer a snapshot rather than a large-scale picture. Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £300, average recorded mileage of 97,000 miles and annual mileage of 4,000. The cars have averaged just over five previous keepers. Automatic transmission and cabin space suit drivers seeking easy commuting or family use, particularly those wanting more comfort than a compact hatchback. Against rivals such as the Ford Mondeo hatchback, the Accord is known for solid build and understated design; with a car of this age, condition most matters greatly.
