2012 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · AF62 GAX

The 2025‑10‑20 MOT at 69,277 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the DVSA roadworthiness standards. The maintenance history shows a pattern of periodic brake pad replacement and suspension checks, with the most recent test confirming that any previous deficiencies have been remedied; the trend is therefore stable rather than worsening or improving dramatically. Over the 14‑year lifespan the recorded mileage averages about 4,950 miles per year, a figure lower than typical for a vehicle of this age, suggesting light usage or extended periods of inactivity. However, mileage accelerated sharply between 2022 and 2024, rising from 51,493 to 65,951 miles—a gain of 13,458 miles in a single year—implying increased driving activity that may have accelerated wear on consumables. A buyer should therefore focus on the front brake system, verifying pad thickness and disc condition beyond the thin‑wear observations noted in earlier tests, and inspect the rear shock absorbers for oil misting or leakage that could affect damping. Examination of the suspension bushes, under‑tray integrity and tyre sidewalls for perishing is advisable, as is a visual assessment of the windscreen cracks to confirm they have not progressed since the last inspection.
