2014 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · FX14 LUB

The 2014 Honda Jazz shows a stable roadworthiness trend with no defects recorded across its most recent MOT tests, including the latest inspection on 27 June 2025 at 28,420 miles. The vehicle passed without fail, suggesting consistent compliance with UK MOT standards for brakes, emissions, lights, and structural integrity. However, the duplicate entry for 20 June 2024—where the test was both passed and failed at the same mileage—indicates a potential administrative error rather than a mechanical issue. No advisories or recurring faults were logged, which implies the tester did not identify any latent concerns requiring attention. The most recent test was conducted just over a year ago, aligning with the standard 12-month MOT cycle for this vehicle age. The recorded mileage of 28,420 miles over 12 years—approximately 2,368 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, suggesting either minimal use or extended periods of storage. The gaps between tests reveal no rapid mileage accumulation; instead, the increments are steady but sparse: 4,274 miles between 2022 and 2023, and another 7,274 miles between 2023 and 2024. This pattern could reflect light urban driving or storage, which may have preserved certain components but also means some wear items—such as suspension bushes or brake pads—may have exceeded their expected lifespan without heavy use. The lack of mileage spikes also means there’s no evidence of aggressive driving or forced wear, though it doesn’t preclude gradual deterioration in less obvious areas. Given the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, which are common wear items on this model and may not have been stressed by low mileage. The brakes, though never failed, should be checked for uneven pad wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for prolonged periods. Corrosion is another critical area; the chassis, subframe, and wheel arches should be examined for rust, as low mileage doesn’t mitigate environmental degradation. Finally, the battery and electrical connections—often overlooked in lightly used cars—should be tested, as prolonged inactivity can lead to corrosion or failure. The absence of advisories in recent tests doesn’t guarantee these areas are flawless, but it does suggest they haven’t yet reached a failing state.
