2004 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · FM53 WYF

The 2004 Honda Jazz currently shows a failed MOT status from the most recent test on 22 April 2024 at 75,681 miles, with no defects formally recorded against the failure. Prior to that, the vehicle passed cleanly on 5 May 2023 at 61,407 miles and on 17 June 2022 at 55,707 miles, following an earlier failure on 7 June 2022 at 55,614 miles that also listed no defects. The record gives no evidence of worsening mechanical decay, but the latest failure with zero logged defects points to an administrative or unrecorded fault rather than a clear maintenance trend. At roughly 22 years old the Jazz has covered 75,681 miles, an average of about 3,440 miles per year, which is low for its age. The odometer moved 55,614 to 55,707 miles between the two June 2022 tests, then rose to 61,407 by May 2023 and to 75,681 by April 2024. That final jump of over 14,000 miles in twelve months marks the only period of heavier use; the rest suggests long standing periods or light local running. The sparse history with no advisories across passes means consumable wear and corrosion levels are undocumented by the tester. A buyer should physically inspect the vehicle for structural rust on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points given the age and likely intermittent use. The brake discs, calipers, and suspension bushes need hands-on checks for binding or perishing rubber, since no advisories were ever raised to confirm condition. The unexplained 2024 failure with no defects recorded means the DVSA test station or paperwork should be verified before purchase, and a fresh independent inspection is essential.
