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 16 MOT tests on record with a 94% pass rate and 20,204 miles. The vehicle's age and mileage, combined with the recurring issues, warrant a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows normal annual mileage (7,044 miles/yr) from 2004 to 2024, but a 5-year MOT history gap (Nov 2017–Nov 2022) means mileage during this period is unverified.

Things to check

  • A 5-year MOT history gap (Nov 2017–Nov 2022) means mileage during this period is unverified.
  • The vehicle is 22 years old, which means significant accumulated wear and tear is expected.

Working in its favour

  • No MOT failures recorded across 3 tests, indicating no immediate safety concerns.
  • Consistent annual mileage (7,044 miles/yr) since 2004, suggesting regular use.
  • Recent MOT pass (Nov 2024) with no immediate retest required.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2022) indicates a strong safety record for its age.
