My honda accord has failed MOT only on the ABS light on

the car has no obd2 port to figure out what the fault is

Even the garage is puzzled

Do search on google for Honda accord obd flash codes and there will be a guide some where on how to do it. There is usually a 2 pin connecter some where that you bridge with a paper clip and when you turn the ignition on the abs light will flash, you need to count the flashes (longs and shorts like morse code) then look them up and see what they mean.

More than likely a wheel speed sensor.
Find each sensor and trace orange connector nearby.
Disconnect and check for resistance of sensor.
1 will more than likely much lower than the others - Ive had to do both rears on my 04 model within 8 months of each other. Bloody things cost 140 each!
