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 21 MOT tests on record with a 90% pass rate and 10,351 miles. The vehicle's age, low mileage, and critical safety issues make it an extremely high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows only 10,351 miles at its first MOT in 2006, a significant decrease from 12,780 miles in Dec 2009, and a major increase to 120,265 miles by Feb 2026, indicating a critical odometer integrity issue.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Dec 2009 (12,780 mi) and Jan 2011 (12,607 mi) — possible odometer tamperin
  • Mileage decreased from 12,780 mi (Dec 2009) to 12,607 mi (Jan 2011) — possible odometer tampering.
  • Only 10,351 miles recorded at first MOT in Feb 2006 for a 2003 vehicle — extremely low usage.
  • Major brake failure (corroded brake pipe) on Jan 2025, following 7 related advisories.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until Feb 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories since Feb 2026, suggesting current owner is maintaining it.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2022) — high safety standard for its era.
  • Consistent annual mileage increases since 2022, showing no recent suspicious patterns.
