2004 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · KE04 EUG

The 2004 Honda Jazz presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 February 2026 at 80,474 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from January 2023 through January 2025 also passed clean. The lone blemish is a failed test logged on 10 February 2023 at 47,853 miles, which the DVSA record shows with no defects recorded, indicating an administrative or procedural failure rather than a mechanical fault on the same day it then passed. Mileage sits low for a 22-year-old vehicle at 80,474 recorded miles, averaging roughly 3,658 miles per year. The jump from 55,954 miles in January 2024 to 64,493 miles in January 2025 and then to 80,474 miles by February 2026 shows recent annual use of around 8,500 to 16,000 miles, well above the long-term average and suggesting the car moved from light storage to regular use. Prior to that, the climb from 47,853 miles in February 2023 to 55,954 miles in January 2024 reflects gentle commuting-level driving. The clean advisory history across four passes means no tester flagged worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, binding calipers, or exhaust issues at the recorded mileages. A buyer should still inspect the underbody for corrosion given the age and the earlier long dormant period, and check brake discs and tyres for degradation from standing. The 2023 same-day fail with no defects warrants a check of the DVSA failure reason code, but the immediate pass suggests no lasting concern. Given the low lifetime mileage and unbroken pass record since 2023, previous owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current once regular use resumed. Verify service history and confirm no outstanding manufacturer recalls before purchase, as the MOT alone does not cover internals such as timing chain or clutch wear.
