AI verdict AVOID 35/100

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 30 MOT tests on record with a 60% pass rate and 24,081 miles. The recurring pattern of critical safety and mechanical issues makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The mileage trajectory shows normal usage, averaging 6,231 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a significant 4-year gap in MOT tests from 2017 to 2021.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre defect (Aug 2025) — immediate safety risk.
  • 7 test failures and 11 advisories across 15 MOTs (Aug 2018–Aug 2025).
  • Recurring suspension and exhaust advisories (Aug 2019–Aug 2024).
  • Recurring tyre advisories escalating to dangerous (Aug 2018–Aug 2025).

Working in its favour

  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no fraud indicators.
  • Valid MOT until August 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of Cat N/S write-off or outstanding finance.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2022) — high safety standard.
