2017 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · AF67 ENO

The 2017 Honda Jazz presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent test. On 4 August 2025 at 45,209 miles, the tester recorded zero defects, indicating no immediate mechanical or structural concerns. The preceding tests in 2024 and 2022 also passed without advisories or failures, demonstrating consistent upkeep. A failed test occurred on 17 July 2023 at 36,376 miles, though the record shows no defects documented for this failure, suggesting a procedural issue or an aborted test rather than a mechanical fault. The immediate pass recorded later that same day at the identical mileage confirms the vehicle met required standards without requiring rectification work. The mileage accumulation aligns with light usage, averaging roughly 5,000 miles per year over nine years. Between the July 2022 test at 30,205 miles and the July 2023 test at 36,376 miles, the car covered 6,171 miles, reflecting a slightly higher annual run. This dropped to 5,194 miles over the following twelve months leading to the July 2024 test at 41,570 miles. The most recent year saw a significant reduction, with only 3,639 miles added between July 2024 and August 2025. Such low annual mileage suggests short-trip driving or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can cause specific wear patterns distinct from high-mileage vehicles. Despite the clean MOT record, the low-mileage profile warrants a physical inspection of components susceptible to deterioration from standing. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking or flat-spotting, as tread depth may remain legal while the rubber perishes from age and lack of use. The brake discs and calipers require checking for surface corrosion, a common issue on vehicles that sit idle, which can cause binding or premature wear once regular use resumes. Suspension bushes and exhaust components should also be inspected for perishing or corrosion, as short journeys prevent these parts from reaching optimal operating temperatures to expel moisture. The absence of structural advisories in the MOT history is reassuring, yet a physical underbody check remains prudent to confirm the integrity of the chassis and brake lines.
