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 12 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 29,668 miles. While mileage is low for its age, the pattern of neglect suggests significant upcoming maintenance costs.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 6,660 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent MOT pass in Oct 2017 at 84,979 miles.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre failures (Oct 2010) and advisories (Oct 2010, Dec 2010) indicate chronic neglect.
  • Wheel bearing advisories (Oct 2010, Dec 2010) escalated to failures (Jul 2015), a recurring safety concern.
  • Major failure for insecure offside front mirror (Oct 2010) and offside front position lamp (Oct 2010) show basic maintenance issues.
  • Major failure for insufficient washer liquid (Oct 2010) and insecure mirror (Oct 2010) highlight poor owner care.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2022): 5-star safety rating.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until Oct 2018, indicating it is currently roadworthy despite its history.
