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 17 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 36,944 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of neglect and the vehicle's age warrant a thorough investigation.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, showing normal annual usage of 9,518 miles/year, with a significant drop in usage from 2019 to 2021, but no suspicious decreases or round numbers.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake failures (2019, 2023) and advisories (2018, 2019) indicate a systemic neglect of safety-critical components.
  • Persistent tyre wear advisories (2018, 2019, 2023) and suspension advisories (2018, 2019) across multiple tests point to chronic maintenance issues.
  • Engine/Oil major failure (2019) and Emissions major failure (2019) suggest broader underlying mechanical problems.
  • The vehicle is currently Untaxed and has a Not Valid MOT status, requiring immediate attention to roadworthiness.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or round numbers, indicating genuine usage.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, suggesting a robust basic design.
