2007 Honda Jazz 1.2L Petrol · CV57 XNA

The roadworthiness of this Honda Jazz appears exceptionally stable, with the vehicle maintaining a clean MOT record over the last four years. The most recent test conducted on 8 October 2025 at 85,493 miles resulted in a pass, following a brief administrative failure on the same day that yielded no recorded defects. This pattern of consecutive passes without advisories suggests that the vehicle has been subjected to consistent, preventative maintenance rather than reactive repairs, indicating a high level of care by previous owners. The recorded mileage of 85,493 miles over a 19-year lifespan averages approximately 4,500 miles per annum, which is significantly lower than the national average for a vehicle of this age. The data shows a steady, incremental usage pattern, with the car covering roughly 1,700 miles between the October 2022 and October 2023 tests, and a further 1,800 miles leading up to the October 2024 inspection. This consistent, low-intensity usage profile suggests the vehicle has likely been used for short, local journeys rather than sustained motorway driving, which typically places less stress on the drivetrain but can accelerate wear on exhaust systems and battery health due to incomplete warm-up cycles. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components that often deteriorate during periods of low usage or short-trip cycles. While the MOT history is clean, you must verify the condition of the exhaust system for signs of internal corrosion caused by moisture accumulation. Inspect the brake discs and calipers for surface rust or signs of seizing, as infrequent use can lead to binding. Finally, check the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing or oxidation, as rubber components age regardless of mileage. The absence of structural corrosion reports in the MOT history is encouraging, but a visual check of the sills and wheel arches remains essential for a vehicle of this vintage.
