2008 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · DA08 RFF

The 2008 Honda Jazz presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 June 2025 at 78,527 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 22 July 2024 at 74,984 miles confirms the vehicle has cleared its last two examinations without advisories or faults. Recorded mileage sits at 78,527 against an 18 year lifespan, averaging roughly 4,363 miles per year, which is low for the age. The test history shows light annual use: 70,092 miles on 17 August 2023, 74,973 to 74,984 miles across the July 2024 tests, and 78,527 by June 2025, an accumulation of under 4,500 miles in the final measured year. The DVSA entries are sparse and clean, with no advisories logged on any pass, so the data implies a gently used car kept off the road for long periods rather than one worked hard through high mileage. The two failure entries dated 17 August 2023 and 22 July 2024 both show zero defects recorded at 70,092 and 74,973 miles respectively, indicating administrative or presentation failures rather than mechanical faults. Because no tester ever flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions, the paper record gives no evidence of worsening structural or mechanical risk. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the usual low mileage wear points. Standing time promotes perished rubber components, seized calipers, and subframe corrosion even when the MOT log stays clear. Check the coil springs, brake lines, and underbody structural integrity in person before purchase, since the official record alone cannot confirm their condition on an 18 year old vehicle.
