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 19 MOT tests on record with a 63% pass rate and 71,936 miles. The vehicle's SORN status and lack of a valid MOT further complicate its purchase.
The vehicle shows high annual usage of 15,469 miles/year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000 miles/year, with no anomalies or decreases detected.
Things to check
- Major structural corrosion failure on 2019-05-19 (test 130,631MI) — vehicle is unsafe and uninsurable.
- MOT expired 2020-11-24; no valid MOT certificate is currently in force, making it illegal to drive.
- Vehicle is on SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification) status, indicating it has been off the road for extended periods.
- High mileage of 222,613 miles by 2019-05-19 suggests heavy commercial or high-usage driving, accelerating wear.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 7 historical failures
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2022) indicates a strong safety record for its age.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering detected in the provided MOT history.
- The vehicle has a consistent service history, with regular MOT tests conducted since its first registration.
