AI verdict AVOID 39/100

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 26 MOT tests on record with a 58% pass rate and 14,056 miles. The vehicle's low annual mileage for its age, combined with a 2-year service gap and numerous recurring issues, makes it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging 7,102 miles per year, with a significant 2-year service gap in 2022 and a 5-year period (2020-2025) where annual mileage was only 1,884 miles.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Tyre has ply or cords exposed (Mar 2024) — immediate safety risk.
  • DANGEROUS defect: Nearside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements (Jun 2013) — critical safety failure.
  • Recurring suspension arm failures (Sep 2020, Mar 2025) — persistent structural weakness.
  • Recurring anti-roll bar link failures (Oct 2021, Mar 2024) — repeated steering component failure.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 11 historical failures
  • Euro NCAP safety rating: 5/5 stars (2022) — excellent safety credentials for its age.
  • Mileage trajectory: Consistent low annual mileage (7,102 mi/yr) — no odometer fraud detected.
  • MOT validity: Valid MOT until March 2027 — no immediate retest required.
