2005 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · EX55 FZW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 27 February 2026 at 156,649 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car consistently secures passes following immediate remediations of previous failures. The presence of recorded failures in both 2024 and 2026 suggests that minor defects or consumable items are addressed promptly by the owner rather than indicating a systemic mechanical failure or structural neglect. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 21-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,459 miles per year. Between the October 2023 test at 150,105 miles and the November 2024 test at 155,843 miles, the car covered 5,738 miles, reflecting typical annual usage. The recent 806 miles driven between November 2024 and February 2026 indicate low short-term usage, which places less stress on the drivetrain and suspension components despite the high mileage. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection must focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and rear sills. Given the age of the vehicle, corrosion is a primary concern that MOT tests cannot always catch until it becomes structural. You should inspect the suspension bushes for perish and check the brake calipers for binding, as the record does not detail whether these components were monitored. Testing the exhaust system for leaks is also advisable to ensure the low annual mileage has not led to excessive internal degradation.
