2004 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · FN04 MDK

The 2004 Honda Jazz presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 14 February 2026 at 70,258 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests from 2024 to 2025 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 24 February 2025 at 66,768 miles, reversed the next day with a pass at 66,772 miles and no defects listed on either entry, which points to an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage sits at 70,258 against a 22-year lifespan, an average of roughly 3,194 miles per year. The Jazz is a low-use vehicle. Between the 7 February 2023 test at 59,601 miles and the 6 February 2024 test at 60,044 miles the car covered just 443 miles, then added 6,728 miles by February 2025 and a further 3,486 by February 2026. Such low, uneven accumulation suggests long standing periods, which can allow corrosion and perished rubber components to develop despite minimal wear to drivetrain parts. The DVSA record shows no advisories or defects across the clean passes, so no recurring suspension bushes, brake disc, or exhaust emission concerns are logged. A buyer should still inspect the underside for structural rust and check suspension arms, coil springs, and brake calipers for binding after the car's idle spells. Tyres and wiper blades may have aged rather than worn, so assess sidewall cracking and rubber condition closely. Given the sparse, defect-free history and low annual mileage, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory testing but likely used the car lightly. A pre-purchase inspection remains sensible to confirm the absence of hidden corrosion or degraded consumables not captured by the MOT entries.
