2004 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · FN54 UOF

The most recent MOT test on 8 September 2022 resulted in a failure at 105,162 miles, though the DVSA record lists no specific defects against that failure. The test before it, on 13 September 2021, passed cleanly at 102,611 miles. The maintenance trend cannot be called stable or worsening on mechanical evidence because the record shows no advisories or recorded faults; the 2022 failure with no defects noted is anomalous and warrants scrutiny of the failure reason outside this dataset. The Jazz shows low use for a 2004 car. It covered just 2,551 miles between the September 2021 pass at 102,611 miles and the September 2022 failure at 105,162 miles, averaging under 2,600 miles a year across that span. Over its 22-year life that equates to roughly 4,780 miles annually. The record is sparse, with only three entries and no defects logged beyond the two unexplained failures in 2021 and 2022, so wear patterns on consumables and structure remain undocumented. A buyer should obtain the formal failure certificates for the 8 September 2022 and 8 September 2021 tests, since the DVSA feed records no defects yet both were failures. Without stated faults we cannot rule out brake, suspension, or emissions issues that the tester flagged on the day. Given the car's age and the unexplained 2022 failure, a physical inspection should target structural corrosion on sills and subframes, condition of suspension bushes and coil springs, and brake disc and caliper operation. The low mileage suggests light use but also possible long standing periods, which commonly accelerate rubber perishing and surface rust.
