This 2012 Honda has 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 29,641 miles. While these were addressed, the repeated warnings suggest ongoing wear and potential future costs.

The vehicle shows consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 8,542 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating genuine usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension arm advisories (Jul 2022, Jul 2023, Jul 2025) indicate ongoing wear.
  • Recurring subframe advisories (Jul 2022, Jul 2023, Jul 2025) point to structural corrosion.
  • Recurring brake disc advisories (Jul 2022, Jul 2023) suggest a pattern of brake component wear.
  • Recurring tyre advisories (Jul 2022, Jul 2023) indicate a history of tyre condition issues.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until July 2026, offering immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent, normal annual mileage (8,542 mi/yr) aligns with UK average.
  • No major structural failures recorded in the MOT history.
