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.
