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

This 2008 Honda has 18 MOT tests on record with a 89% pass rate and 21,466 miles.

The mileage trajectory shows normal usage, averaging 6,362 miles/year, with a notable 2021 service gap and a recent spike in annual mileage from 2022 onwards.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension failures (coil spring fractured 2025) and advisories (suspension arm 2025) indicate ongoing wear.
  • Recurring tyre and brake disc advisories (2024, 2025) suggest significant upcoming maintenance costs.
  • A 2021 service gap is a red flag for potential neglect or unrecorded periods of non-use.
  • Consistent electrical failures (lights 2025) and advisories (plate lamp 2025) point to a pattern of neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2022): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 2026-12-26 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, normal mileage for its age (6,362 mi/yr) suggests careful, non-abusive use.
