AI verdict AVOID 40/100

AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2008 Honda has 24 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 29,896 miles. The vehicle's 18-year age and extensive wear patterns make it a high-risk purchase.

The mileage trajectory shows normal annual usage until 2019, but a significant anomaly: 27,665 miles/year equivalent before Jan 2025, then normal again.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2021-01-20 (79,011 mi) after ADVISORY on 2019-03-01.
  • DANGEROUS tyre failure on 2024-01-22 (103,283 mi) after ADVISORY on 2023-01-22.
  • Unusually high mileage jump of 27,665 mi/yr equivalent before Jan 2025.
  • Recurring major failures in lights (9 times) and bodywork (2 times).

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2022): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 9 historical failures
