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 24 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 24,567 miles. The vehicle's extremely low annual mileage (4,568 miles/yr) for a 21-year-old car, combined with a 1994–present clutch/coolant leak history from community knowledge, makes it an extremely high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 4,568 miles per year over 21 years, with a significant gap in MOT history from 2008 to 2009 and no recorded mileage for those periods.
Things to check
- MOT HISTORY CRITICAL: 4 test failures (Jun 2019, Nov 2020, Nov 2021, Nov 2022) and 7 advisories on lights, suspension, and brakes.
- MILEAGE DISCREPANCY: Recorded 24,567 miles in 2008, but no mileage recorded for 2009–2019, indicating a 10+ year data gap.
- RECURRING LIGHT FAILURES: 6 major headlamp failures (Jun 2019, Nov 2020, Nov 2021, Nov 2022, Oct 2024) and 5 advisories, a clear pattern of electrical neglect.
- RECURRING SUSPENSION FAILURES: 1 major suspension failure (Jun 2019) and 7 related advisories (Jun 2019, Nov 2020, Nov 2021, Nov 2022), indicating chronic structural wear.
Working in its favour
- MOT VALID: The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate until November 2026, indicating it is roadworthy at present.
- Euro NCAP RATING: The vehicle boasts a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating (2022), suggesting good overall safety features for its age.
- Consistent Mileage: Once past the initial 10-year gap, the vehicle has shown consistent, albeit low, annual mileage readings since 2019.
- No Recent Major Failures: The most recent MOT (Nov 2025) passed without major failures, suggesting the owner has been addressing issues.
