2009 Honda Jazz 1.2L Petrol · FG59 BHD

The 2009 Honda Jazz presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 27 May 2025 at 65,843 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle cleared with no defects recorded at that test. Prior to this, the May 2025 pass came four days after a failure on 23 May 2025 at 65,783 miles, though the failure entry lists no defects, indicating an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a mechanical fault. A similar pattern occurred in August 2023, when the car failed on 1 August at 51,960 miles with no defects logged, then passed the next day. These paired fail-pass entries suggest paperwork or test centre error rather than worsening condition. Recorded mileage sits at 65,843 against an August 2009 registration, averaging roughly 3,873 miles per year. The Jazz covered 6,392 miles between the June 2024 test at 57,352 miles and the May 2025 pass, and 5,883 miles across the 2023 to 2024 interval. Low annual use implies lighter mechanical wear but raises the prospect of prolonged standing periods, which can accelerate rubber perishing and corrosion on static components. The sparse, clean record gives little evidence of neglect, yet offers no deep insight into consumable replacement cycles. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and low-use profile. Standing time often masks binding calipers or flat-spotted tyres not captured in a pass result. The absence of advisories across all five tests means no tester flagged exhaust emissions, structural integrity, or corrosion concerns, but 17-year-old Hondas commonly develop underbody rust that a brief MOT bay check may miss. Verify the reason for the two no-defect failures with the testing stations, as repeated administrative rejects warrant clarification before purchase. Otherwise the documented history supports a low-risk used buy subject to a standard pre-sale mechanical appraisal.
