Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle currently fails the roadworthiness test. The most recent examination on 10 November 2023 at 155,135 miles returned a fail with no defects recorded, an irregular outcome that leaves the mechanical status unverified. Prior to that, the Jazz passed cleanly at 146,695 miles on 11 November 2022 and again at 136,425 miles on 6 November 2021. The trend shows two stable years with no advisories, then an unexplained failure just under three years before today's date, with no subsequent test logged since. Annual mileage averaged 6,745 across the car's 23-year life, which is typical for the age. The records show steady use: 10,270 miles between the November 2021 and November 2022 tests, then 8,440 miles to the November 2023 failure. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear. The sparse history carries no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions, so wear patterns on consumables and structure remain undocumented rather than confirmed sound. A buyer must treat the 2023 fail as an open item. DVSA systems record no defect list, yet the test centre issued a failure, so the car may carry an unresolved fault or simply lack a valid pass through owner neglect. Inspect the V5C and any garage paperwork to confirm why it failed and whether it was later repaired. Given the clean 2021 and 2022 passes, structural integrity and major mechanical items showed no flagged risk then. At 155,135 miles and 23 years old, expect aged coil springs, tired suspension bushes, and possible underbody corrosion unseen in the record. Verify brake caliper operation, tyre tread depth, and weld condition before purchase, as the absent 2024 and 2025 tests mean roadworthiness has not been independently confirmed for over 31 months.
