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

This 2009 Honda has 20 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 14,073 miles. While recent MOTs are valid, the unexplained absence of records for a vehicle of this age is a significant red flag.

The vehicle shows normal usage with 7,631 miles/year, but a 1-year MOT gap (2012-2013) is a major concern for a 17-year-old car.

Things to check

  • Critical 17-year MOT history gap from 2012-09-19 to 2013-11-04 — no records for 1 year.
  • First MOT test on 2012-09-19 recorded 14,073 miles — a 17-year-old vehicle should have a full history.
  • Multiple recurring electrical failures (lights, headlamps, position lamps) across 11 tests.
  • Brake pad advisories recurring across 4 separate tests (Dec 2019, Jan 2022, Dec 2023, Jan 2026).

Working in its favour

  • Current MOT is valid until 2027-01-09, indicating recent roadworthiness checks.
  • Mileage trajectory is consistent and normal for its age, averaging 7,631 miles/year.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the provided MOT history.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2022) suggests a well-regarded safety record for its model year.
