2012 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · CE12 NVF

This Honda Jazz has maintained a consistent MOT pass record over the past four annual tests, with the most recent inspection on 11 June 2025 confirming no defects at 70,198 miles. The absence of advisories or failures across all tests suggests the vehicle has been subjected to regular, if not rigorous, servicing. However, the lack of any recorded issues does not preclude the need for a thorough independent inspection, particularly given the vehicle’s age and the wear expected at this mileage. The recorded mileage of 70,198 miles over 14 years—approximately 5,014 miles annually—indicates unusually light usage for a vehicle of this age. The intervals between tests are standard, with each MOT falling within the required 12-month window, but the gradual accumulation of mileage implies prolonged periods of inactivity rather than consistent driving. This could either mean the car has been stored correctly or that critical components may have experienced prolonged static stress, such as suspension seals or brake fluid degradation. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of high-wear items that are not routinely tested, such as the suspension bushes and coil springs for stiffness or cracking, particularly at the rear where binding calipers were not flagged but could develop over time. Brake discs and pads should be assessed for uneven wear or corrosion, as the MOT does not verify the structural integrity of the brake system beyond basic functionality. Additionally, the exhaust system should be checked for leaks or rust penetration, especially around joints and the catalytic converter, while the underbody should be examined for corrosion at wheel arches and sills—common issues for a vehicle of this age. The battery and electrical connections should also be tested, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate corrosion in terminals.
