2004 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · CU04 SCX

The Honda Jazz passed its most recent MOT on 16 August 2022 at 166,244 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy at that point. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the record shows two earlier failures on 13 August 2021 and 16 August 2022 that were logged with no defects cited, suggesting administrative re-tests rather than mechanical faults. No worsening or resolving fault pattern is visible across the supplied history. At roughly 22 years old the car shows 166,244 miles, equating to about 7,557 miles per year, which is typical for the age. The gap between the 2021 and 2022 tests covers only 4,491 miles, and the 2022 pass mirrors the prior year's clean result. The data is sparse, with just four entries and no advisories or recorded wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion, so the low annual use implies light running rather than neglected high-mileage punishment. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underside corrosion, as a 2004 chassis can hide rust away from MOT sight lines even after a clean test. The absence of flagged brake discs, coil springs, or binding calipers in the record does not exempt the car from aged rubber components and perished suspension mounts at this mileage. Given the twin no-defect failures, verify the V5C and test certificates to confirm those were clerical re-tests, not masked defects. Treat the clean MOT as a baseline only; a 166k-mile Jazz needs hands-on checks of exhaust emissions, drivetrain condition, and consumable wear before purchase.
