2017 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · FX17 MEV

The 2017 Honda Jazz presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent MOT pass on 12 March 2026 at 36,143 miles, which recorded no defects. The maintenance trend shows a transition from minor consumable issues to a clean bill of health. While the vehicle experienced a wiper failure in March 2022 and a tyre wear advisory in March 2024, the absence of defects in the latest test suggests that previous maintenance requirements have been addressed. The vehicle has covered 36,143 miles over approximately nine years, averaging roughly 4,016 miles per year. This represents significantly lower than average usage for a vehicle of this age. The mileage increments between tests remain consistent, showing steady but light use rather than long periods of total inactivity. For example, the gap between the March 2024 test at 26,385 miles and the March 2025 test at 30,217 miles indicates regular, short-distance driving patterns. A prospective buyer should focus on the braking system during a physical inspection. The March 2025 test at 30,217 miles flagged both rear brakes as binding slightly. Although the 2026 test showed no defects, the history of binding calipers warrants a check for uneven pad wear or sticking pistons. The March 2024 advisory regarding nearside front tyre wear on the edge could also indicate a previous need for wheel alignment or suspension bushing inspection, though no further issues have appeared since. Given the low annual mileage, the mechanical components should be in good condition, but the buyer should verify that the battery and fluids have been maintained to prevent issues related to infrequent use. The overall record indicates a well-kept vehicle with minor, predictable wear on consumables rather than systemic mechanical or structural failures.
