2006 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · GP06 PCO

This 2006 Honda Jazz passed its most recent MOT on 23 June 2025 at 91,454 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded. The test history since 2021 shows a consistent pattern of clean passes, though the 2024 record includes an unusual duplicate entry—one marked as a pass and another as a fail at the same mileage (82,447). This anomaly suggests either an administrative error or a temporary unroadworthy condition that was swiftly rectified. No recurring faults or advisories appear in the official record, indicating the vehicle has not been penalised for critical issues like suspension failure, excessive corrosion, or binding brakes during testing. However, the absence of advisories does not preclude underlying wear—particularly in components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers—which often develop beyond MOT thresholds between tests. The recorded mileage of 91,454 miles over 20 years reflects an exceptionally low average of approximately 4,573 miles per annum. This suggests the vehicle has been either lightly used or stored for extended periods, which can mitigate some wear but also risks stagnant fluids, seized components, or degraded rubber seals. The largest gap between tests spans 14 months (from December 2021 to March 2023), during which the car accumulated just 2,618 miles. While this reduces mechanical stress, it also means critical components—such as brake pads, timing belt (if applicable), and fuel system filters—may not have been serviced within manufacturer-recommended intervals. The most recent test occurred just over a year ago, which is standard for MOT cycles, but the lack of service records means no confirmation exists that routine maintenance was performed. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear items that exceed typical MOT thresholds. Focus on the suspension: check for cracked or perished bushes on the rear subframe and control arms, as well as sagging coil springs, which are common in this model after 15,000+ miles of use. The brakes warrant scrutiny—while the MOT did not flag binding calipers, uneven wear or glazed pads could indicate past neglect. Examine the exhaust system for rust-through, particularly around the catalytic converter and tailpipe junctions, where corrosion often develops silently. Finally, inspect the underbody for structural corrosion, especially around the sills and wheel arches, as prolonged low-mileage storage can accelerate deterioration from road salt and moisture. The absence of advisories in the MOT does not guarantee these areas are intact.
