2012 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · AF62 GDU

The 2012 Honda Jazz carries a current MOT test valid from 15 September 2025, recorded at the latest entry, with a clean pass and no advisories recorded at that time. This is the most recent evidence of roadworthiness within the DVSA history. Prior to that pass, a failure occurred just four days earlier on 11 September 2025 for an insufficient nearside windscreen washer fluid supply, which is a trivial rectification rather than any mechanical or structural concern. Three previous tests at 2022, 2023 and 2024 all returned passes, with only two advisories noted across the entire five-test history. The pattern reflects stable compliance with MOT standards and no escalation of defects between annual assessments. Mileage accumulation across the recorded entries is moderate for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 7,338 miles per year over a 14-year lifespan. The progression between tests indicates consistent use rather than long periods of standing, with no unusually large gaps or rapid accumulation that would suggest heavy commercial-style running. The 2024 advisory note for both front tyres worn close to the legal limit and on the edges indicates the consumable rubber was nearing the end of its service life at that mileage point, but this is a normal wear item rather than an indicator of underlying mechanical neglect. No other mileage-linked wear items, such as brake or suspension advisories, have appeared in the recorded tests. For a prospective buyer, a physical inspection should prioritise the components not visible within the MOT dataset. The front tyres flagged in September 2024 should be checked for current tread depth and even wear across both axles, as uneven shoulder wear can point to tracking misalignment or worn suspension components such as bushes or wishbone arms. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, a thorough check of the rear brake assemblies for binding calipers and the exhaust system for corrosion at mounting points and joints is advisable. The underbody and inner sills should also be examined for structural rust, particularly around the wheel arches and subframe mounts, as corrosion is a common concern for cars of this vintage operating in UK conditions. A coolant and brake fluid service history would be worth confirming independently, as fluid condition falls outside MOT scope.
