2007 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · NG07 AEN

The vehicle shows a history of inconsistent maintenance, with a trend of failing MOT tests due to neglected consumable items before achieving a pass. The most recent recorded test in October 2023 at 90,203 miles indicates a pass, but the tester flagged both nearside and offside front tyres as being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges. This follows a failure during that same test for incorrect headlamp aim. While the vehicle has passed its most recent inspection, the recurring nature of tyre and brake-related issues suggests a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for a 2007 vehicle, averaging approximately 4,748 miles per year. The record shows steady, incremental growth, such as the increase from 77,931 miles in October 2021 to 85,650 miles in October 2022, and finally 90,203 miles in October 2023. This low annual usage suggests the car has seen light duty, but the MOT history reveals that even with lower mileage, components like tyres, wiper blades, and brake pads are frequently left to reach the point of failure. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, though the last recorded test was nearly three years ago relative to the current date. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension components. The record shows repeated failures regarding brake pad thickness and parking brake efficiency, specifically in 2014, 2016, 2019, and 2021. The tester also flagged an anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover issue in 2021, so the integrity of the suspension bushes and joints warrants close attention. Given the tendency for tyres to be worn on the edges, an inspection of the wheel alignment and suspension geometry is necessary to rule out underlying steering issues. Finally, check the condition of all exterior lighting and wiper assemblies. The history shows multiple failures related to side repeaters, headlamp aim, and windscreen wipers. While these are often minor electrical or consumable fixes, they reflect a habit of overlooking basic upkeep. Ensure the tyres currently on the vehicle have sufficient tread depth and even wear across the profile to avoid the issues noted in the 2023 test.
