2002 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · EU52 AMK

The vehicle appears mechanically stable based on the available MOT data. The most recent test on 7 August 2024 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating the car met the minimum roadworthiness standards at that time. A failure occurred six days prior on 1 August 2024, though the record lists no specific defects for that failure, suggesting a clerical error or a minor issue resolved immediately. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2002 model, averaging roughly 3,172 miles per year. A significant jump in usage occurred between July 2023 and August 2024, where the odometer rose from 65,333 miles to 76,127 miles. This represents over 10,000 miles in a single year, a sharp increase compared to the steady growth of approximately 2,500 miles seen between July 2021 and July 2023. The absence of advisories across five years of testing is unusual for a twenty-four-year-old vehicle. While the clean record suggests a well-maintained car, the low overall mileage and recent spike in use raise specific concerns. Buyers should physically inspect the rubber components, including tyre sidewalls and suspension bushes, as these often perish due to age and standing rather than wear. Attention must be paid to the braking system and structural integrity. Low-mileage cars frequently suffer from binding calipers or pitted brake discs due to inactivity. A thorough check for corrosion on the chassis and sills is essential, as the MOT record does not provide a detailed history of structural rust prevention.
