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 7 MOT tests on record with a 57% pass rate and 7,682 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the recurring issues and very low annual mileage warrant a thorough investigation.

The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging only 2,274 miles per year, with a significant 2009 service gap and inconsistent readings.

Things to check

  • 2008-07-05: Failed for excessive front suspension stiffness and wheel alignment.
  • 2008-07-05: Failed for brake lever positioning and centre rear tyre tread depth.
  • 2010-01-05: Failed for centre front headlamp not illuminating on dipped beam.
  • Recurring headlamp failures (2008, 2010) indicate a persistent electrical or mechanical issue.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2013-10-28, confirming current roadworthiness.
  • No recurring major structural failures (e.g., brakes, suspension) after initial fixes.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2022) indicates a safe vehicle.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory despite low annual usage, no suspicious drops.
