2012 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · A6 KVB

The 2012 Honda Jazz presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 August 2025 at 120,657 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, though the same date also shows a failed test with no defects listed, an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Across the prior three years the vehicle passed cleanly at 112,457 miles on 29 July 2024, 105,713 miles on 2 August 2023, and 97,083 miles on 1 August 2022, indicating no recurring advisories or worsening condition. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for a 14-year-old vehicle. The record shows roughly 8,600 miles per year, rising from 97,083 in August 2022 to 120,657 by August 2025, an even spread of about 7,800 to 8,200 miles annually. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear in the data, and the clean test history across all five entries suggests the previous owner kept basic consumables and structural items within test limits. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean MOT record. The absence of advisories means suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion were not flagged, but testers only record visible faults at the time. Given the car is now over 120,000 miles and 14 years old, check for worn suspension components, binding calipers, and exhaust emissions integrity that may develop between tests. The lack of any recorded defects across five years implies reasonable upkeep rather than neglect, though the duplicate 8 August 2025 entries warrant confirmation the V5C and DVSA ledger match. No structural or mechanical risks are evidenced in the official data, but pre-purchase scrutiny of tyres, wiper blades, and chassis rust remains sound practice at this age.
