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 15 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 70,463 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of issues suggests a vehicle that requires careful inspection.

The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 13,373 miles/year, with a notable drop in recent years (e.g., 14,545 miles from 2021 to 2022).

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2023-03-07, indicating critical wear.
  • Recurring tyre advisories (2021, 2022, 2023) and shock absorber issues (2021, 2023) suggest ongoing maintenance needs.
  • Major windscreen failures (2023) and electrical issues (2021) highlight past neglect.
  • The 2020 MOT gap is a concern, as it may indicate periods of non-use or unrecorded history.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent high mileage suggests regular use and potential for good fuel economy.
  • Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating for a 2008 model is excellent for its age.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT, indicating it is currently roadworthy and compliant.
  • No persistent major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects are present.
