2014 Honda Jazz 1.2L Petrol · FL14 OBO

The 2014 Honda Jazz presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 30 March 2026 at 81,657 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests from March 2023 to April 2025 also passed cleanly. The single failure on 11 March 2024 at 61,806 miles is anomalous as the DVSA record shows no defects listed and the same-day retest passed, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault requiring repair. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for a twelve-year-old vehicle. The odometer climbed from 54,605 miles at the March 2023 test to 61,806 miles in March 2024, then 71,347 miles by April 2025, reaching 81,657 miles by March 2026. This equates to roughly 8,500 to 10,000 miles per year across the recorded period, marginally above the 6,805-mile annual average implied by total mileage but showing no abrupt jumps or standing periods that would raise consumable or seal-degradation concerns. The clean advisory history across all five entries signals the previous owner kept basic upkeep current. No tester flagged worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, binding brakes, or exhaust issues at any stage. The absence of advisories on items such as brake discs and tyres suggests these were replaced before reaching reportable wear limits. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished record. Twelve years of age invites invisible corrosion in sills and subframes not always caught in a test bay, and rubber components like suspension mounts harden regardless of mileage. Verify service history independently, as MOT passes confirm only statutory minimum condition on test day, not ongoing mechanical care.
