2005 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · MT05 AHJ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-12-09 at 88,914 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Previous tests in 2024 and 2023 showed mixed outcomes, including a failed test on 2024-11-12 at 83,578 miles, though no defects were logged. The absence of recorded issues in the latest test suggests the car has been addressed to meet roadworthiness standards, but the prior failure without defect notes raises questions about unresolved concerns. The owner’s adherence to testing frequency implies a cautious approach, though the lack of detailed defect records limits definitive conclusions. The vehicle’s mileage of 88,914 miles over 21 years equates to an average of 4,234 miles annually, significantly lower than typical usage. A notable increase occurred between 2023-11-13 (77,164 miles) and 2024-11-12 (83,578 miles), reflecting a 6,414-mile rise in 12 months. This spike contrasts with the long-term low-mileage trend, potentially indicating periods of active use or inconsistent driving patterns. The 2025-12-09 test at 88,914 miles shows a return to steady progression, but the sparse defect data prevents assessment of wear on components like suspension bushes or brake discs. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn coil springs or binding calipers, as low mileage can mask dry rot or corrosion in rubber components. The absence of exhaust emission failures in recent tests is positive, but older vehicles may still suffer from catalytic converter degradation. Structural integrity should be verified, particularly underbody rust, given the car’s age. Brake discs and pads warrant scrutiny, as low-mileage use can lead to uneven wear or seized calipers. The MOT history’s lack of specific faults means a physical inspection is critical to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical condition.
