2006 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · AF56 UJM

The most recent MOT entry dated 7 December 2021 at 142,206 miles shows a failed test immediately followed by a pass on the same day with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend cannot be judged as stable, worsening, or improving because only a single test event exists in the supplied record. The vehicle has not been presented for an MOT for over four and a half years relative to today's date of 8 July 2026, which means its current roadworthiness is unverified by any official test since late 2021. The recorded mileage of 142,206 at the December 2021 test equates to roughly 7,110 miles per year across the vehicle's twenty years, a typical usage rate for a 2006 Honda Jazz. The history shows no earlier entries, so no accumulation pattern or gap before 2021 can be assessed. The identical mileage on both the fail and pass records from the same day suggests the failure was administrative or a data anomaly rather than a mechanical defect, with the tester recording no faults on either outcome. A buyer must treat this car as untested since 2021 and arrange a full independent inspection before purchase. With no advisories logged, the MOT record gives no warning on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion, but the absence of data is not evidence of condition. The long lapse since the last test raises the risk of perished rubber components, seized calipers, and underbody rust from prolonged disuse. Given the same-day fail and pass with zero defects, previous ownership likely let the test lapse or mishandled the booking rather than neglecting repairs. Verify the odometer reading against service stamps, confirm the V5C, and commission a pre-purchase examination of emissions, exhaust, and chassis integrity before committing funds.
