AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2012 Honda has 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 14,894 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, creates a significant and unresolvable contradiction.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage of 4,151 miles/year, averaging only 14,894 miles over 14 years, which is highly unusual for a 2012 car.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (May 2025): Rear Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))
- DANGEROUS brake failure on 2026-05-22 (test 13) — immediate safety risk.
- DANGEROUS brake failure on 2025-05-25 (test 12) — recurring safety-critical defect.
- Recurring tyre failures (tears) on 2018-07-03 (tests 5, 6) — structural integrity concern.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-05-22, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2022) — exceptional safety features for its era.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the provided MOT history.
- Consistent annual mileage increases, despite being very low, show no suspicious drops or spikes.
