This 2003 Honda has 25 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 5,237 miles. The mileage trajectory is highly irregular, suggesting periods of prolonged inactivity or potential odometer issues.

Mileage is extremely low, averaging 2,028 miles/year, with a significant drop to 136 miles/year between Jan 2025 and Jan 2026, indicating prolonged inactivity or potential odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • Mileage is extremely low, averaging 2,028 miles/year, with a significant drop to 136 miles/year between Jan 2025 and Jan 2026.
  • Recurring steering advisories (2019, 2024) suggest a chronic issue despite the 2024 PASS.
  • Three failures across 11 tests, including a 2024 MOT failure, indicates inconsistent maintenance.
  • The 2020 MOT gap is a significant concern, suggesting the vehicle may have been off-road or unrecorded.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until January 2027, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2022) confirms high safety standards.
  • No immediate major mechanical repairs are indicated by the MOT history.
