2012 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · FH12 OMJ

The 2012 Honda Jazz presents a stable and highly reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 27 August 2025 at 62,125 miles. The tester recorded zero defects, indicating the vehicle met all roadworthiness standards without requiring any remedial work. This unblemished recent record suggests the current owner has maintained the car to a high standard, addressing any minor wear items proactively before they escalate into failures. The recorded mileage of 62,125 miles over fourteen years equates to an average annual usage of roughly 4,438 miles, which is exceptionally low. Examining the chronological data reveals a steady accumulation: 46,829 miles in July 2022, 52,047 miles in September 2023, and 57,842 miles in September 2024. This translates to approximately 5,200 miles over the first year and 5,800 miles over the second, showing a slight increase in recent usage. The most recent test in August 2025 recorded 62,125 miles, meaning the vehicle has covered just over 4,200 miles in the preceding eleven months. Such low mileage typically reduces wear on consumables and drivetrain components, though prolonged periods of standing can introduce its own issues. Despite the clean MOT history, the failed test on 19 September 2024 at 57,842 miles warrants attention, even though the record lists no specific defects. This anomaly suggests either an administrative failure or a minor defect rectified within two days before the successful retest on 21 September 2024. Given the low annual mileage, a buyer should inspect components that deteriorate with age and lack of use rather than mileage. Check the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking and flat spots, and assess the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion that can cause binding. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing, and verify the exhaust system for corrosion caused by short, cold-start journeys that fail to evaporate moisture. The pristine mechanical record implies diligent ownership, but a physical inspection remains essential to confirm the structural integrity of a vehicle that has spent much of its life covering short distances.
