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

This 2005 Honda has 24 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 12,108 miles. The 2023 service gap and numerous minor failures also warrant careful consideration.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,708 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausibly low annual usage, though a 2023 service gap is noted.

Things to check

  • Recurring exhaust advisories (Jan 2022, Jan 2024, Jan 2025) suggest a persistent underlying issue.
  • Recurring brake advisories (Jan 2021, Dec 2022, Jan 2024) indicate a pattern of wear.
  • Recurring light advisories (Jan 2022, Jan 2024, Jan 2025) point to a recurring electrical or mechanical issue.
  • The 2023 service gap (no MOT recorded) raises questions about the vehicle's maintenance history.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2022): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until January 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent mileage averaging 7,708 miles/year is well below UK average, indicating light use.
