2018 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · KF18 EYO

The 2018 Honda Jazz presents a stable and well-maintained roadworthiness record through the DVSA MOT history. The most recent test on 25 February 2026 at 17,403 miles passed with zero defects recorded. This clean sheet, combined with a clear pass on 2 August 2025 at 17,288 miles, indicates a resolving trend. The only notable blemish in recent years was a headlamp aim failure on 27 June 2024 at 15,950 miles, which was rectified the same day and has not recurred. No mechanical, structural, or corrosion-related defects appear in the current record. Mileage accumulation is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,175 miles per year. Between the July 2023 test at 13,680 miles and the June 2024 test at 15,950 miles, the car covered approximately 2,270 miles in eleven months. From June 2024 to August 2025, it added just 1,338 miles over fourteen months, and a further 115 miles followed by February 2026. This pattern suggests prolonged periods of very light use or standing. Low mileage reduces wear on consumables, but extended dormancy can age rubber components, dry out seals, and cause surface corrosion on brake discs and suspension bushes despite low recorded distances. The history flags two areas worth a physical inspection. The 2023 advisory for a slightly damaged or perishing nearside rear tyre at 13,680 miles suggests previous owners may have deferred basic rubber replacements. All four tyres should be checked for sidewall cracking, date codes, and uneven wear, particularly if the car has sat for long intervals. The June 2024 headlamp aim failure, though minor, warrants a quick verification that both beam patterns remain correctly set and that the headlamp levelling system, if fitted, operates smoothly. With such low mileage, brake discs may show surface rust from standing rather than wear; a short road test will confirm whether braking is free from judder, pulling, or binding calipers. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be inspected for perishing consistent with age rather than mileage.
