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 17 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 54,910 miles. The vehicle is also currently untaxed and has no valid MOT.

The vehicle shows a suspiciously low 679 miles/year equivalent before Mar 2016, followed by a 4-year MOT history gap (Jun 2018 to Aug 2022) with unverified mileage, indicating a significant data integrity issue.

Things to check

  • Critical 4-year MOT history gap (Jun 2018 to Aug 2022) with unverified mileage.
  • No valid MOT as of the analysis date, making it illegal to drive on public roads.
  • Vehicle is currently Untaxed, indicating it is not being used or maintained for roadworthiness.
  • Dangerous suspension defect recorded in Jun 2018, though it passed the retest, requires immediate scrutiny.

Working in its favour

  • No specific MOT failures or advisories are present in the recent history (Aug 2022).
  • The vehicle has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, indicating good structural integrity.
  • The 1.6L petrol engine is known for its long-term reliability and low maintenance costs.
  • The vehicle has a consistent annual mileage of 8,659 miles/yr, averaging well below UK norms.
