2013 Honda Jazz 1.2L Petrol · AE13 PVT

The 2013 Honda Jazz presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 February 2026 at 115,422 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests from February 2023 to February 2025 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test logged on 17 February 2023 at 89,658 miles, where the record shows no defects cited, indicating an administrative or procedural failure rather than a mechanical fault, immediately followed by a passing test on the same day at identical mileage. Annual mileage averages around 8,879 across the vehicle's thirteen-year life, which is typical for a supermini of this age. The records show consistent yearly increments: 89,658 miles in February 2023, 97,315 in February 2024, 105,947 in February 2025, and 115,422 in February 2026. The roughly 8,000 to 10,000 miles added each year points to steady private use with no standing periods or sudden accumulation spikes. The MOT data is sparse on advisories, with every pass recording zero defects, so no wear trends on consumables or mechanical items are visible in the official history. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean record. The absence of advisories across four years is unusual for a 115,000-mile vehicle and may reflect tester leniency rather than a fault-free chassis. Prior owners clearly kept the car to a basic annual test standard with no flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion issues. Given the age and mileage, examine the subframe and sills for structural rust, check front suspension arm bushes for perished rubber, and measure brake disc wear and caliper operation. Verify the timing chain tension and gearbox condition, as these are not captured by MOT tests but carry risk at this mileage. The same-day fail and pass in February 2023 warrants a check of the DVSA failure reason code to confirm no suppressed defect.
