2011 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · KR11 FNF

The most recent MOT history for this 2011 Honda Jazz, tested just eight months ago on 2025-09-09, reveals a stable but unusual pattern. The vehicle passed twice on the same day at 163,697 miles—an anomaly in DVSA records—before clearing all prior tests without fail. No defects were recorded in any of the five MOT cycles since 2022, suggesting the tester did not identify any recurring issues during those inspections. However, the double test on the same date implies either a technical error or a minor oversight in the initial assessment, though no faults were ultimately logged. This lack of advisories or failures over four years indicates the vehicle has not experienced major mechanical or structural concerns during official testing. The recorded mileage of 163,697 miles over 15 years equates to approximately 10,913 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The most notable observation is the consistent mileage increments: 9,200 miles between the 2022 and 2023 tests, 9,700 miles between 2023 and 2024, and 13,080 miles between 2024 and 2025. There are no prolonged periods of inactivity or sudden spikes, which might suggest the vehicle has been driven regularly without extended storage. However, the lack of detailed maintenance history means potential wear on high-wear components—such as suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers—cannot be confirmed without further inspection. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of components that are not routinely tested but critical for long-term reliability. Focus on the suspension system, particularly the condition of the rear subframe mounts and front/rear suspension bushes, as these often degrade gradually without immediate MOT consequences. The brake system warrants scrutiny: while no binding calipers or excessive wear were flagged, the age of the vehicle suggests the rear brake discs and drums may require replacement, and the front discs should be checked for lateral run-out or glazing. Additionally, inspect the underbody for corrosion, particularly around the wheel arches, sills, and exhaust system, as this model is prone to rust in these areas. The double MOT test on the same date hints at a possible oversight in emissions or minor electrical checks, so verify the catalytic converter’s functionality and the integrity of the exhaust system for leaks or excessive emissions.
