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 21 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 31,085 miles.

The vehicle shows normal usage with 6,273 miles/year, consistent with readings from 82,331 miles in June 2019 to 112,501 miles in December 2025.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS emissions failure on 2011-03-01 (test 31,085 mi) — a critical safety defect.
  • Recurring suspension issues: ball joint (6 tests), shock absorber (4 tests), and arm (2 tests) — persistent wear.
  • Recurring tyre advisories: worn close to limit (5 tests) — indicates chronic under-investment in consumables.
  • Major failure for offside front outer suspension arm ball joint on 2024-12-15 (test 107,132 mi) — a significant structural repair.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-12-15, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent, normal mileage trajectory (6,273 mi/yr) — no fraud indicators.
  • Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating (2022) — excellent crashworthiness for a 2008 model.
  • No recent major failures or advisories on the most recent 2025-12-15 MOT.
