2018 Honda Jazz 1.5L Petrol · M11 VES

The Honda Jazz presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test on 9 December 2025 at 14,678 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. The maintenance trend remains stable across the available history. A pass on 12 December 2024 at 13,897 miles followed a fail on 11 December 2024 at the same mileage with no defects logged, and earlier tests in May 2024 and June 2023 also passed cleanly. This pattern shows no worsening mechanical condition. The recorded mileage indicates very light use for an eight year old vehicle. The odometer read 8,166 miles on 5 June 2023, climbed to 12,589 miles by 30 May 2024, then reached 13,897 miles on 12 December 2024 and 14,678 miles on 9 December 2025. Annual accumulation dropped from roughly 4,400 miles to under 800 miles in the final year. Such low and slowing mileage suggests extended periods of storage, which can mask aged rubber components and fluid degradation despite clean test sheets. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs and brake calipers for binding given the car's age and standstill periods. The MOT record shows no advisories on brake discs, corrosion or exhaust emissions, yet underside structural integrity warrants a ramp check for hidden rust. The anomalous fail in December 2024 with no defects recorded demands scrutiny of the vehicle's paperwork to confirm the nature of that reversal. Previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance, with the swift pass after the unexplained fail indicating prompt attention to any requirement. Consumable items such as tyres and wiper blades may exhibit perishing from low use rather than wear, so visual checks remain prudent. The Jazz stands as a low risk purchase on the data, provided the in-person checks confirm no latent faults.
