2009 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · EF58 AEJ

This vehicle demonstrates an exceptionally stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent MOT on 16 July 2025 at 48,591 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to July 2021, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has experienced very little mechanical stress. The mileage is remarkably low for a 2009 model, averaging roughly 2,858 miles per year. The usage pattern remains steady, with an increase of 3,827 miles between July 2023 and July 2024, and a further 3,827 miles added by the July 2025 test. Such low annual mileage often indicates the car has served as a secondary vehicle or has been used for short, local trips. While the MOT record is flawless, the low mileage and age of the vehicle introduce specific risks not captured by a standard test. A buyer should personally inspect the rubber components, specifically the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, for perishing or dry rot caused by age rather than wear. Brake calipers should be checked for sticking or binding, a common issue in low-mileage cars that spend long periods stationary. The absence of any recorded corrosion or structural advisories over the last five years is positive. However, given the car is 17 years old, a physical check of the underbody for surface rust is advised to ensure the structural integrity remains intact. Checking the fluid conditions and ensuring the engine has not suffered from oil sludge due to infrequent long-distance runs would complete a thorough due diligence process.
