2004 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · BA04 AFY

The 2004 Honda Jazz presents a currently roadworthy status following a clean pass on 20 June 2025 at 181,674 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recent record. The vehicle cleared its latest test with no defects recorded, and the preceding annual tests in May 2023 and May 2024 also returned passes with no advisories. The only blemish sits in two short-interval failures on 22 May 2023 at 153,693 miles and 18 June 2025 at 181,672 miles, both logged with no defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. Mileage accumulation tracks close to typical use for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,258 miles per year against the 181,674 miles recorded. The jump from 153,696 miles at the May 2023 pass to 161,522 miles by May 2024 shows light annual use of about 7,800 miles, then a larger 20,152-mile increase to the June 2025 test. The record is sparse, with only five entries across two years, and the clean sheets with zero advisories on every test suggest either diligent upkeep or tests that omitted routine wear notations such as tyre condition or suspension bushes. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points, as the MOT history never lists underbody or sills examination outcomes despite the car's age. The absence of advisories on brake discs, coil springs, and exhaust emissions across all entries does not confirm their condition, only that testers raised nothing. Given the two zero-defect failures, verify the VIN and test documentation to rule out clerical mismatch before purchase. The recurring pattern of pass-fail-pass within days implies the previous owner addressed minor test-centre queries promptly rather than neglecting faults. With no consumable wear or serious mechanical risks flagged in the official data, the Jazz reads as a low-drama example, though physical checks on binding calipers and bush wear remain prudent at this mileage.
