2007 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · DA56 KVL

The 2007 Honda Jazz currently fails the roadworthiness standard. The most recent test on 19 February 2026 at 94,978 miles returned a failure with no defects recorded, following an identical pattern in 2025 and 2024 where the car failed on 27 February 2025 at 84,288 miles and 27 February 2024 at 77,950 miles before passing days later. This repeated fail-then-pass sequence at the end of February each year shows a stable but irregular testing trend, with the owner correcting unspecified faults between the rejection and the pass. The latest failure leaves the vehicle unroadworthy until the recorded defect is established and cleared. Recorded mileage sits at 94,978 against a 19-year life, an average of roughly 5,000 miles per year. The jumps between tests show light annual use: 7,002 miles from March 2024 to March 2025, then 10,623 miles to February 2026. Low mileage for age suggests gentle running or periods off the road, yet the three consecutive February failures imply basic pre-test checks were skipped rather than continuous neglect of major components. Because the DVSA entries list no defects on any pass or failure, the records give no direct signal of suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust condition. A buyer must commission a physical inspection to confirm structural integrity and consumable wear. The recurring end-of-month February failures warrant scrutiny of test preparation standards and any hidden advisories not captured in the open data. Given the clean but inconclusive history, verify the February 2026 failure cause at point of sale. Check for binding calipers, coil spring fatigue, and underbody rust that low-mileage cars can conceal. Confirm the current MOT is cleared before purchase.
