2016 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · AF16 EKH

The 2016 Honda Jazz presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 February 2026 at 42,401 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests also passed cleanly. The single failure in the record is anomalous rather than indicative of decline. Annual mileage sits at roughly 4,240 miles, low for a ten-year-old vehicle. The records show 17,631 miles at the January 2023 test, 23,938 miles at the failed January 2024 test, 24,077 miles when it passed a week later, then 30,849 miles by January 2025 and 42,401 by February 2026. The jump of over 11,500 miles between early 2025 and early 2026 suggests heavier use in the final year than the prior sparse pattern. The clean pass sheets imply the previous keeper addressed basic servicing, though the 6 January 2024 failure with no defects listed points to an administrative or presentational issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low standing mileage and the recent annual increase in use. Long idle periods can allow corrosion to develop on structural members and brake calipers even when MOT advisories are absent. The absence of recorded exhaust emissions or tyre tread concerns across the history is reassuring, but pre-purchase checks on underbody integrity remain prudent.
