AI verdict CAUTION 60/100

AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2003 Honda has 22 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 8,244 miles. The vehicle's low mileage for its age, combined with a 4-year MOT gap, raises significant ownership and maintenance concerns.

The vehicle shows normal usage with 7,366 miles/year, but a 4-year MOT gap (2019-2023) is highly unusual for a 23-year-old car.

Things to check

  • MOT expired 2022-01-13; no valid MOT since, indicating it has been off-road for 4+ years.
  • Aug 2018 MOT failure for a tyre cut, then Jan 2021 failure for a brake pad, both on safety-critical systems.
  • Jan 2021 MOT failure for a brake pad, then immediate PASS — suggests a quick fix without addressing underlying issues.
  • Jan 2021 MOT advisory for engine oil and wiper wear — indicates owner neglect of routine maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
  • Consistent, normal mileage trajectory averaging 7,366 miles/year.
  • No recorded DANGEROUS defects in the MOT history.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2022) indicates strong structural integrity.
