2005 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · KM55 NPY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, following a clean MOT pass on 7 October 2025 at 147,462 miles. The maintenance trend appears remarkably stable, despite a momentary failure just one day prior to that successful test. The failure at 147,460 miles resulted from high exhaust carbon monoxide levels exceeding manufacturer limits, but the immediate pass thereafter suggests the owner addressed the emissions issue, likely through a oxygen sensor replacement or ignition system adjustment, before the re-test. At 21 years old, the recorded mileage of 147,462 miles reflects a consistent usage pattern of approximately 7,000 miles per year. The data shows steady intervals between tests, such as the 4,065 miles covered between August 2022 and August 2023, and another 1,520 miles between August 2023 and September 2024. This regularity suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which often helps prevent the degradation of seals, hoses, and rubber components. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the engine health to ensure the carbon monoxide issue was not a symptom of deeper mechanical wear or a failing catalytic converter. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the rear sills and rear wheel arches is essential, as these are common failure points for this era. Also verify the condition of the suspension bushes and shock absorbers, as these components often show signs of fatigue at this mileage regardless of the MOT record not flagging specific advisories.
