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 31 MOT tests on record with a 61% pass rate and 83,965 miles. The vehicle's 21-year age, combined with a 4-year gap in MOT records and a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for a 2005 model, presents significant and unresolvable risks.

The mileage trajectory shows normal usage at 8,956 miles/year, but a 4-year gap in MOT records (2013-2017) is highly unusual and prevents verification of vehicle activity during that period.

Things to check

  • Dangerous tyre defect recorded on 2022-09-01 (MOT 176513) — immediate safety concern.
  • Recurring major failures on lights (8 times) and emissions (3 times) across multiple tests.
  • Persistent corrosion advisories on the subframe (7 tests) and suspension arm (7 tests) since 2022.
  • A 4-year MOT record gap (2013-2017) prevents verification of vehicle activity and maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 12 historical failures
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,956 miles/year, indicating normal usage.
  • Valid MOT until 2026-10-31, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
