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 29 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 62,058 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of neglect in safety-critical systems warrants careful consideration.

The vehicle shows normal usage averaging 10,734 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, and a consistent increase over its 20-year lifespan.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension failures (5 tests) and advisories (4 related) indicate chronic neglect.
  • Recurring brake failures (1 major) and advisories (4 related) point to a pattern of poor maintenance.
  • Dangerous tyre failure (Sep 2019) and dangerous brake failure (Nov 2025) highlight critical safety issues.
  • The 21-year-old vehicle with 224k miles will incur significant future running costs.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent high mileage (10,734 mi/yr) suggests regular use, not prolonged storage.
  • Valid MOT until November 2026 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided MOT history.
  • Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating for a 2005 model is a positive for its era.
