2014 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · PJ14 AEG

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-05-16 at 72,748 miles confirmed it met roadworthiness standards with no defects recorded. This aligns with prior passes in 2024 and 2023, indicating a stable maintenance trend. The 2022-01-14 test at 49,415 miles showed a failure, though no defects were listed, suggesting potential administrative or procedural issues. Overall, the absence of recurring mechanical failures in the last three years implies consistent upkeep, but the 18-month gap between the 2022 and 2024 tests raises questions about usage patterns and potential component degradation during inactivity. The vehicle’s mileage of 72,748 miles at 12 years old equates to approximately 6,062 miles annually, a rate typical for its age. However, the 2022-01-14 test recorded the same mileage as the subsequent 2024-02-15 test, implying a prolonged period of inactivity or unrecorded mileage. This could contribute to corrosion in underbody components, suspension bushes, or brake systems. The lack of consumable-related defects in recent tests suggests no immediate urgency, but the extended gap between inspections may mask gradual wear in non-visual areas. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate deterioration. The exhaust system and corrosion levels, particularly around the chassis and wheel arches, warrant close examination. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the 2022 test’s failure—despite no defects—highlights the importance of verifying service records and assessing the vehicle’s history of storage or usage. No brake-related issues were flagged, but a physical inspection of brake discs and calipers is recommended to confirm their condition.
