A test a little late

One test was 6 days late: the certificate ran out on 7 April 2012 and the next test was 13 April. Under a month, so no warning.

Above the average for similar cars

The average Bonafied score for a 2008 HONDA CIVIC is 41 (based on 52 cars). This one is above average.

4 years' mileage out of step

All 16 odometer readings run forward; 4 years' mileage sit well above or below the others. Not a backward step, so no warning.

How much of this car's MOT history we can see

This car has been due an MOT for 16 years, and about 6 months of that aren't covered by a test. The missing time isn't hidden, it's just not in the digital record: paper history from before May 2005, time spent off the road, or years abroad before the car came to the UK. We can't tell which, and we don't guess. So the score is pulled toward the middle of the scale. It cuts both ways: a partial record can't reach the top, and it can't reach the bottom either. If the missing time matters to you, ask the seller what they know about it.

Taxed

DVLA records this car's tax status as Taxed.

Currently on a clean run

This vehicle's last 12 MOTs have all been clean: passed without failures, advisories, or noted defects. A current run of consistent clean tests is one of the strongest positive signals available in MOT data.

Not checked

We do not check the write-off register. This lamp lights only when a listing we have seen declared the car as a Cat S, N, C or D. An HPI check covers the register and the rest of the history that MOT data does not.

No structural defect recorded

None of the 16 tests recorded a structural defect: corrosion or damage to a part the car's strength depends on.

No sign of an import

DVLA records the car's first UK registration within two years of its manufacture, so nothing suggests an import. Its registration is a normal age-related plate, not a Q-plate.

Before you commit

The highest-stakes decisions before money changes hands.

Vehicle History Check

A history check covers what MOT data doesn't: outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, theft markers, scrap records. Worth doing before you commit.

Pre-Purchase Inspection

An MOT is pass or fail. A pre-purchase inspection is a mechanic's eyes on brakes, wear, leaks and recent repairs. Especially worth it if you can't see the car in person.

Tyres

Worth checking tread depth if you haven't already. New tyres before winter if they're marginal.

Disclaimer

  1. Bonafied has assessed the MOT history of this vehicle only.
  2. This assessment is not a substitute for an independent full vehicle history check, physical inspection or professional mechanical appraisal.
  3. Declared write-offs (Categories A, B, S and N) are not checked at this stage; an independent history check is strongly recommended before purchase.
  4. Mileage consistency is assessed from MOT records only; odometer fraud cannot be ruled out without independent verification.
  5. Bonafied accepts no liability for the condition, fitness for purpose or accuracy of description of any vehicle.
  6. Bonafied cannot detect vehicle modifications. Standard and modified examples are assessed identically against MOT history data.
