2004 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · CV04 XON

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its most recent MOT on 10 November 2025 at 142,895 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has achieved clean passes in the previous three annual tests. The single failure recorded in the 2025 test relating to a supplementary restraint system warning lamp was a specific electrical fault rectified immediately, indicating the owner addressed the safety-critical airbag issue before the re-test. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twenty-two-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per annum. Between November 2022 and November 2025, the car covered 49,084 miles, representing a steady usage rate of roughly 16,000 miles per year during that specific period. This suggests a higher level of use compared to the lifetime average, which typically accelerates wear on age-related rubber components like suspension bushes and mounts despite the low total mileage figure. The jump from 122,090 miles in 2024 to 142,895 miles in 2025 shows a recent increase in activity of 20,805 miles within a single year. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural sills and rear wheel arches, as Hondas of this era are prone to corrosion over time. While the MOT record does not list recent structural advisories, the 2022 advisory regarding headlamp lens oxidation suggests the plastics are beginning to degrade from UV exposure. Given the recent SRS failure, the buyer must verify the airbag warning light remains extinguished upon ignition to ensure the fault has returned. The accelerated mileage over the last year also warrants a close check of brake pad thickness and tyre condition depths to ensure maintenance has kept pace with the increased road usage.
