2016 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · CP16 LOF

This Honda Jazz presents a clean and stable MOT history, with the most recent test on 11 July 2025 at 75,017 miles showing no defects—an outcome repeated across the three preceding annual tests. The only anomaly is a failed MOT on 19 July 2022 at 37,846 miles , which lacks recorded defects, suggesting a possible administrative error or minor oversight that was swiftly rectified. The absence of advisories, major faults, or recurring issues in the past three years indicates consistent upkeep, with no signs of worsening mechanical or structural degradation. Suspension components, brake systems, and exhaust emissions have clearly passed inspection without intervention, reinforcing the vehicle’s reliability in these critical areas. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for its age, averaging around 7,500 miles per year —a figure that suggests neither excessive wear nor prolonged neglect. The gap between the 2022 failure (37,846 miles) and the subsequent 2022 pass (37,848 miles) is negligible, implying the issue was resolved within days. Subsequent tests in 2023 (49,929 miles) , 2024 (63,462 miles) , and 2025 (75,017 miles) show steady, incremental mileage increases, with no sudden spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. This pattern reflects either consistent, moderate use or careful storage between owners, avoiding the accelerated wear often seen in high-mileage examples. For a buyer, the primary focus should be on consumable components given the car’s age, particularly tyre condition, brake pads, and wiper blades , as these are not covered by the MOT but degrade over time. While the MOT record shows no brake system faults, a pre-purchase inspection should verify disc thickness, pad wear, and caliper operation , especially if the car has been driven in urban or stop-start conditions. Suspension should also be scrutinised— bushings, coil springs, and ball joints —as these wear gradually and may not always trigger an advisory until significant degradation occurs. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and exhaust mounts , should be checked for corrosion, as the Jazz’s lightweight construction can mask early rust until it compromises safety. The absence of past advisories on these areas is positive, but physical inspection remains essential to confirm no hidden deterioration.
