2009 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · DA59 WMP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a clean pass in the most recent MOT test on January 8, 2026, at 45,555 miles. This result indicates that any issues leading to the failure in November 2025, just fifteen miles prior, were addressed immediately. The failure at that stage appears to be an anomaly or a minor defect that was rectified quickly, as the car currently meets all minimum roadworthiness standards without outstanding mechanical advisories. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,680 miles per year. Between November 2022 and November 2024, the car covered only 6,006 miles, with a further 3,782 miles recorded in the following year. This consistent low-usage profile suggests the vehicle has been used for short trips. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long periods of standing can often lead to age-related degradation of rubber parts and fluids that do not manifest through mileage alone. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age rather than mileage-wear. Check for perished rubber in suspension bushes, split wiper blades, and degraded brake hoses which can occur from infrequent use. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches is essential, as MOT tests only flag significant structural decay. Ensure the tyres show no signs of dry cracking, as low-mileage cars often exhaust the rubber before the tread wears out.
