AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The MOT history for this 2005 Honda Accord shows a stable trend in recent years following a failure in November 2021. The vehicle passed its most recent test on 25 November 2022 with no defects recorded. This follows a pass on 16 November 2021, which occurred on the same day as a recorded failure. While the record shows no ongoing issues or advisories in the last two years of testing, the lack of recent data since late 2022 means the current roadworthiness remains unverified by official DVSA testing. The vehicle has covered 162,946 miles over its 21-year lifespan, averaging approximately 7,759 miles per year. This mileage pattern aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The records provided do not show specific mileage increments for the 2021 and 2022 tests, making it impossible to determine the exact rate of recent accumulation. However, the absence of recorded mileage gaps in the provided data suggests consistent use rather than long periods of inactivity. A prospective buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the vehicle to compensate for the lack of recent MOT data. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, particular attention should be paid to the structural integrity of the chassis and subframes for signs of corrosion. The tester should also inspect consumable components including brake discs, pads, and tyres, as well as suspension bushes and coil springs, which often show wear at this mileage level. Checking for any signs of fluid leaks or exhaust system degradation is also advisable to ensure the vehicle remains in line with the clean results seen in the 2022 test.
