AI verdict AVOID 59/100

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 17 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 36,254 miles. This, combined with a history of recurring suspension and exhaust advisories, makes it an extremely high-risk purchase.

The vehicle recorded only 36,254 miles over 18 years, averaging 5,269 miles per year, which is significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year and raises serious odometer fraud concerns.

Things to check

  • Mileage anomaly: 36,254 miles in 18 years (Jan 2008 to Sep 2025) — well below UK average.
  • Recurring suspension issues: Coil spring fractured (Aug 2022), multiple ball joint advisories (Aug 2022, 2023, 2024).
  • Recurring exhaust corrosion: Noted in 5 separate MOT tests (Aug 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022).
  • Recurring body corrosion: Noted in 2 separate MOT tests (Aug 2023, 2024).

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-09-16, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recent MOT failures, with the single failure in Aug 2022 immediately rectified.
  • Consistent annual mileage increases (pre-2022) suggest regular use, not long periods of inactivity.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2022) indicates a safe and well-engineered vehicle.
