2002 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · KD52 AXN

The October 2025 MOT declared the vehicle roadworthy at 107,263 miles, noting only minor corrosion of the near‑side and off‑side rear brake hoses and a rear sub‑frame that was corroded but not seriously weakened. No structural failures or dangerous defects were recorded, and the overall maintenance trend remains stable, with only occasional advisory items appearing since the 2023 test. Mileage has risen steadily from 93,597 miles in November 2016 to 107,263 miles in October 2025, an increase of roughly 13,666 miles over nine years, or about 1,518 miles per year, which is modest for a 24‑year‑old car. The annual intervals between tests show no abrupt jumps; the jump from 105,845 miles in November 2024 to 107,263 miles in October 2025 represents an addition of 1,418 miles over eleven months, consistent with normal usage rather than a period of standing still or rapid accumulation. A buyer should therefore inspect the ABS warning lamp circuit for sensor or wiring faults, examine the condition of the rear brake hoses and sub‑frame for rust penetration, and verify the integrity of the front suspension arm pins and bushes, which have shown wear in earlier tests. The repeated severe reduction of headlamp output indicates lens contamination or ageing lamp units that merit visual inspection and possible replacement, while the persistent wear on front brake discs and the history of drive‑shaft boot deterioration suggest checking for suspension play, disc thickness, and boot integrity. Finally, the exhaust leak noted in 2016 and the recurring corrosion on brake pipes point to a need to assess pipe condition, exhaust mounting, and overall structural soundness before purchase.
