2007 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · FT07 EWK

This Honda Jazz has maintained a clean MOT history with no recorded defects across five consecutive tests, including the most recent one on 2025-07-01. The double entry for that date—one pass and one fail—appears anomalous and likely stems from a DVSA administrative duplication rather than a genuine mechanical failure. The consistent pass status over two years suggests the vehicle has not experienced recurring or critical faults during routine testing. However, the absence of advisories or minor defects in any record means no prior issues were noted by the tester, which could either indicate diligent maintenance or that the vehicle has been driven lightly enough to avoid significant wear. The recorded mileage of 32,393 miles over nearly 19 years—roughly 1,705 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. The incremental mileage increases between tests (e.g., 29,766 to 31,235 miles between 2023 and 2024) suggest the car has been stored or used infrequently, which may have preserved some components but could also mean fluids and consumables have degraded without regular service. The gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests (28,582 to 29,766 miles) is similarly modest, reinforcing the pattern of minimal usage. This low-mileage context means wear items like suspension bushes and brake pads may still be in relatively good condition, but prolonged inactivity could have allowed minor corrosion or fluid breakdown. Given the lack of MOT advisories, a buyer should prioritise inspecting high-wear areas that often go unnoticed in low-mileage vehicles. Focus on the suspension—particularly the coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—for signs of corrosion or dry rot, as these can develop even with minimal movement. The brakes, though not flagged, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the car has been stored with the wheels off the ground. Examine the exhaust system for rust penetration, particularly at joints and underbody mounts, as this is a common failure point in older models. Finally, verify the condition of the battery, which may have been neglected during periods of non-use, and confirm the service history for oil changes and fluid top-ups, as these records are not reflected in the MOT data.
