2014 Honda Jazz 1.2L Petrol · WF14 AEN

The 2014 Honda Jazz has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across all five tests, including the most recent examination on 25 April 2025 at 35,174 miles. This suggests the vehicle has consistently met DVSA roadworthiness standards without recurring mechanical issues, though the absence of advisories or defects does not preclude hidden wear. The pattern remains stable, with no evidence of worsening conditions or unresolved faults. However, the double entry for 17 March 2023—where the car was tested twice on the same day—implies either a rare administrative oversight or a brief period of uncertainty, though both tests passed without fail. The recorded mileage of 35,174 miles over 12 years equates to approximately 2,931 miles annually, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. The gap between tests is consistent at around 12 months, with no rapid mileage spikes or prolonged inactivity. The slight increase from 33,696 miles in March 2022 to 33,970 miles by March 2023 suggests minimal usage, which may indicate the car was either lightly driven or stored for extended periods. This low mileage could mean reduced wear on high-usage components like brakes, suspension, and drivetrain, but it also raises questions about fluid changes and general maintenance, as older vehicles often require servicing regardless of mileage. Given the lack of recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of suspension components, particularly the bushes and coil springs, as these are common wear items that may not always trigger MOT failures until advanced deterioration. The brakes, while not flagged, should be checked for uneven pad wear or binding calipers, especially if the car has been stationary for prolonged periods. Corrosion, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, should be scrutinised, as rust can compromise structural integrity without immediately affecting MOT passability. Additionally, the exhaust system—often overlooked in low-mileage cars—should be inspected for leaks or excessive rust, as emissions systems can degrade even with minimal use. Fluid levels (brake, power steering, coolant) and condition (oil, transmission fluid) should also be verified, as these are not routinely tested during MOTs.
