2005 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · FP05 HSL

The vehicle currently fails the roadworthiness standard. The most recent test on 19 December 2025 at 124,825 miles returned a fail with no defects recorded, an administrative anomaly that leaves the car legally unroadworthy until cleared. Prior to that, the MOT trend was stable and clean, with passes recorded on 25 May 2024 at 124,782 miles, 6 May 2023 at 121,233 miles, and an initial fail then pass on 22 April 2022 at 116,336 miles showing no defects logged. The history shows no worsening mechanical faults across the examined period. The recorded mileage sits low for a 2005 vehicle at 124,825 miles, averaging roughly 5,944 miles per year. The car covered only 3,489 miles between April 2022 and May 2023, then just 3,549 miles to May 2024, and a mere 43 miles between May 2024 and the December 2025 failure. Such low annual use over twenty years suggests extended standing periods, which typically accelerate rubber perishing, brake caliper seizing, and underbody corrosion despite the clean test sheet. A buyer must verify why the December 2025 test failed with no defects cited, as the DVSA entry points to a clerical or presentation issue rather than a confirmed fault. Given the low mileage and likely storage, the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant hands-on inspection for age-related degradation and binding calipers from disuse. Structural integrity and exhaust emissions show no advisories in the record, but twenty-one years of age demand a physical check for chassis rust and perished hoses. The sparse, defect-free history implies basic upkeep was adequate, yet the unexplained recent fail means the car should not be purchased without a fresh pass and a independent mechanical examination.
