2008 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · FH08 AKO

The vehicle currently fails the roadworthiness standard. The most recent test on 2 December 2025 at 146,433 miles returned a failure with no defects recorded, leaving the cause undocumented but the status unresolved. Across late 2024 the car failed four consecutive tests on 30 October, 31 October, 4 November and 3 December at mileages between 130,832 and 130,840 before finally passing on 3 December 2024 at 130,840 miles. This pattern shows a worsening spell of non-compliance ending in a clean pass, then a fresh failure just over a year later with no advisory detail supplied. The recorded mileage sits at 146,433 over an eighteen-year life, averaging roughly 8,135 miles per year which is typical for the age. Between the 3 December 2024 pass at 130,840 miles and the 2 December 2025 failure at 146,433 miles the car covered 15,593 miles, around double the annual norm and indicating heavier recent use. Prior to that the four October to December 2024 tests show near-static mileages of 130,832 to 130,840, suggesting the owner presented the car repeatedly within days while chasing a pass rather than driving it normally. Because every failure entry lists no defects recorded, the DVSA data gives no mechanical basis to judge suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion or emissions condition. A buyer must physically inspect the car to confirm why the 2025 test failed and whether structural integrity, exhaust emissions or binding calipers are at fault. The repeated clean advisories mean consumable wear like tyres or wiper blades was not flagged, but the undocumented failures deny any assurance on serious mechanical risk. Given the 2025 failure remains open and unexplained, treat this Jazz as not roadworthy until a fresh test proves otherwise. Inspect for undertray corrosion, coil spring fracture and brake binding during any viewing, and obtain the failure certificate from the seller before committing funds.
