How many miles will a 2010 Accord last?
The 374 mileages owners gave run from 3 to 230,000 miles. A quarter are at or under 20,490 miles, half at or under 41,000, three quarters at or under 86,000 and nine in ten at or under 125,000; 63 (17%) came after 100,000 miles, 20 (5%) after 150,000 and 2 (1%) after 200,000.
These mileages say when owners reported a problem, not when a 2010 Accord wears out. NHTSA's file holds only vehicles whose owners complained; one that ran without a problem never appears in it, so it gives no lifespan and no cutoff, and how a vehicle was maintained matters more than any one odometer reading.
Most of these reports came early in the vehicle's life: 311 of the 374 came at or under 100,000 miles. The 63 past that mark show the 2010 Accord still being driven at those mileages, not how many reach them: NHTSA's file counts complaints, not the vehicles on the road.

Common problems with the 2010 Accord
NHTSA's file holds 581 owner complaints on the 2010 Honda Accord. Owners named the airbags most often: 134 complaints, and half of the 42 that list a mileage came after 60,000 miles. A complaint can name more than one component.
| Component (NHTSA category) | Complaints | Listing mileage | Median mileage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Air Bags | 134 | 42 | 61,000 |
| Engine | 116 | 78 | 80,000 |
| Service Brakes, Hydraulic | 63 | 54 | 21,189 |
| Service Brakes | 60 | 45 | 36,000 |
| Power Train | 45 | 36 | 62,000 |
Of the 581 complaints, 38 report a crash, 6 report a fire and 36 report an injury (47 people reported injured). These are owners' reports to NHTSA, not findings.
Is the 2010 Accord a good year?
Complaint counts cannot say whether the 2010 is a good or a bad Accord: they rise with how many were sold and how long they have been on the road. They show how the 2010 compares with the other model years in NHTSA's file.
With 581 complaints, the 2010 ranks 18th of the 44 Honda Accord model years from 1982 to 2026 with 10 or more complaints, counting from the most. The most: the 2018 (2,016). The fewest: the 1982 (10).
Recent model years have had less time to collect complaints, so their counts are still growing. No year is ranked by mileage here, because a year's median mileage mostly follows its age.

|---|---|---|---|
| 1982 Accord | 10 | 0 | Under 10 mileages |
| 1984 Accord | 22 | 1 | Under 10 mileages |

What these figures can and cannot tell you
- Complaints are owners’ reports to NHTSA. NHTSA publishes them without verifying them: a complaint is an allegation, not a defect finding.
- The mileage is what the owner wrote on the complaint; NHTSA does not check it against the odometer.
- The make, model and model year are the ones on the complaint. NHTSA records them as filed, so a few complaints sit under a model year the name was not sold in.
- They are not a lifespan study. The file holds only vehicles whose owners reported a problem, so these figures do not say how long a typical 2010 Accord lasts.
- A complaint count rises with how many vehicles were sold and how long they have been on the road, so it is not a rating of the 2010 Accord.
- Nothing here describes one vehicle: its title brands, odometer readings, accidents and open recalls are in the records for its own VIN.
- 207 of the 581 complaints on the 2010 Honda Accord give no usable mileage (blank, zero, a filler such as 999999, or over 500,000) and are left out of every mileage figure.
- NHTSA names counted: ACCORD, ACCORD HYBRID and ACCORD PLUG-IN HYBRID. NHTSA files some vehicles under several names (a series name and a trim name, for example); this page counts only these.
- Recall-file names matched: ACCORD and ACCORD HYBRID.
