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

This 2004 Honda has 13 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 62,143 miles. While it has a long service life, the pattern of neglect and high wear demands thorough investigation.

The vehicle shows high annual usage averaging 18,691 miles per year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000, indicating accelerated wear and tear on components.

Things to check

  • High annual mileage (18,691 mi/yr) suggests accelerated wear on components.
  • Five major failures across critical systems (lights, suspension, emissions, brakes, steering) indicate significant past neglect.
  • Three recurring advisories for tyres, exhaust, and ball joints point to chronic maintenance issues.
  • The 2004 registration and high mileage mean this vehicle is likely ULEZ non-compliant and will incur higher running costs.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2022) indicates a strong safety record for its age.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a long service life, with no immediate timing belt replacement required.
