2005 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · DE05 ADV

The 2005 Honda Jazz presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2025-05-08 at 126,315 miles confirming no defects. This follows a 2024-05-13 pass at 118,518 miles, though a prior 2024-05-10 failure at 118,517 miles—despite no recorded defects—suggests potential administrative or procedural issues. The absence of recurring mechanical failures in the last three annual tests indicates consistent maintenance, though the 2024 gap between tests raises questions about the urgency of addressing any underlying concerns. The vehicle’s mileage of 126,315 miles over 21 years aligns with an average of 6,015 miles annually, reflecting moderate use. The MOT records show regular testing intervals, with no significant gaps exceeding 12 months. However, the 2024-05-10 failure and subsequent pass within three days lack defect details, limiting insight into specific issues. The clean record from 2023 onward suggests the owner prioritized compliance, though the lack of detailed fault reports prevents a deeper analysis of mechanical trends. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, common in older vehicles, and check brake discs for uneven wear or corrosion. The exhaust system and structural integrity, particularly around the chassis, warrant scrutiny due to the car’s age. While MOT records show no immediate risks, the absence of detailed defect descriptions means a physical inspection is essential to confirm the condition of components not tested during MOTs, such as steering linkages or underbody corrosion.
