2017 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · LB67 AFF

The 2017 Honda Jazz has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across all five tests, including the most recent examination on 2025-12-04 at 37,240 miles. The single failure on 2025-12-03—just one mile before passing—was unusual but suggests either a minor procedural oversight or a temporary operational issue rather than a recurring mechanical trend. There is no evidence of repeated advisories or defects that would indicate worsening wear in critical systems. The vehicle’s compliance with emissions and structural checks remains consistent, though the lack of advisories does not preclude hidden issues in components like suspension bushes or coil springs, which often fail without MOT detection. The recorded mileage of 37,240 miles over eight years—roughly 4,138 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, particularly given the Jazz’s typical usage patterns. The gaps between tests are regular, with no rapid mileage accumulation or prolonged periods of inactivity that might suggest neglect or storage-related deterioration. The most notable interval is between the 2022 and 2023 tests, where mileage increased by 4,496 miles in a year, yet this remains within the low-usage range. Such low mileage could imply limited driving, which may have preserved some components but also means fluid changes (e.g., brake fluid, coolant) may not have been as frequent as recommended. Given the absence of MOT defects, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, as these are common failure points in this model and often go unnoticed until they degrade. The brakes, while not flagged, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has experienced sudden stops or heavy loads. Tyre condition—despite no MOT failures—must be verified, as failing twice on tread suggests basic upkeep may have been inconsistent. Finally, inspect for corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and underbody, as the Jazz is prone to rust in these areas, even with low mileage. The lack of advisories does not guarantee these areas are clear.
