2004 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · CV54 AOT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing tests. The most recent inspection conducted in January 2026 at 126,640 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. This follows a clean pass in 2024 and 2023, suggesting that the mechanical condition of the vehicle has remained consistent without the emergence of recurring failures over the last three years. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,756 miles per year. Between February 2023 and January 2026, the car covered 6,458 miles, which represents a reduced rate of roughly 2,150 miles per annum. This low annual usage suggests the vehicle has likely been used for short trips or remained stationary periodically, which typically preserves the mechanical life of the drivetrain and suspension components. However, long periods of low use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or fluid acidity, despite the low odometer reading suggests. A physical inspection should focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as older Honda models are prone to corrosion in hidden areas. While the MOT record is clean, the buyer should check for surface rust on the wheel arches and underbody which may not have triggered a failure yet. The single failure recorded in January 2025 at 124,761 miles was immediately rectified for a pass that same day, likely a minor consumable issue such as a light bulb or tyre adjustment that was quickly addressed. Inspect the suspension bushes and brake lines for cracking to ensure the low mileage has not resulted in age-related material fatigue.
