2017 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · LC67 AXA

The 2017 Honda Jazz has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across all five tests, including the most recent pass on 2025-03-18 at 159,842 miles . This suggests the vehicle has been consistently roadworthy under MOT testing standards, though the lack of advisories or minor faults means no red flags were raised by the tester. The final pass was just over 14 months ago , which is within the standard MOT validity window but nearing the point where a pre-test inspection would be prudent. The absence of recurring failures indicates the owner—or previous owners—have likely adhered to basic maintenance, though this does not guarantee unseen wear on high-mileage components. The recorded mileage of 159,842 miles over 8 years and 4 months equates to an average of 17,760 miles per year , which is above the typical range for a city hatchback of this age. The most significant mileage jump occurred between 2023-03-04 (110,730 miles) and 2024-03-06 (140,038 miles) , a 29,308-mile increase in just over a year , suggesting either intensive use or a period of active ownership. The gap between 2021-12-04 (78,797 miles) and 2023-03-04 (110,730 miles) —a 31,933-mile span in 17 months —also indicates consistent driving rather than prolonged storage. While this high mileage accelerates wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake components, the lack of MOT failures implies these elements have not yet reached critical failure points. Given the vehicle’s age and mileage, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension integrity , particularly the rear subframe mounts and bushings , which are common wear points on this model. The rear brake calipers and discs should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as high mileage can lead to excessive friction or corrosion. Exhaust emissions —though not failed—may warrant a closer look, as catalytic converters can degrade over time, especially with rapid mileage accumulation. Structural corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe should be examined, as this is often overlooked in high-mileage cars. Finally, fluid levels and condition (brake, clutch, power steering, and engine oil) should be verified, as these are not MOT-tested but critical for long-term reliability. The absence of MOT advisories does not preclude these areas from requiring attention.
