2009 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · DA09 OBW

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-05-17 at 132,976 miles recorded a pass with no defects, though an anomalous failed entry on the same date complicates interpretation. Previous tests from 2024-01-16 (127,516 miles) and 2022-06-20 (118,167 miles) also showed no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. No recurring issues or escalating faults are evident in the record, suggesting the vehicle has been consistently maintained to roadworthy standards. The mileage progression aligns with an average annual usage of 7,822 miles, reflecting typical wear for a 17-year-old vehicle. Tests spaced 18–24 months apart show steady mileage increases, with no significant gaps or rapid accumulation. The absence of defects in all recorded tests, despite the age, implies the previous owner prioritized regular servicing. However, the lack of detailed fault reports limits insight into potential hidden wear on components like suspension bushes or brake discs. A physical inspection should focus on aged suspension components, including coil springs and bushings, which may show fatigue despite no MOT failures. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, as these can develop over time. Structural integrity, particularly in the underbody and chassis, warrants scrutiny, as rust or fatigue cracks may not appear in MOT records. The vehicle’s clean MOT history is reassuring, but age-related degradation in non-MOT-checked systems remains a consideration.
