2007 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · LG57 VOV

The 2007 Honda Jazz presents a clean bill of health on its most recent MOT, passing on 28 May 2025 at 109,783 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable and, by the evidence of the record, improving, as the vehicle has cleared its last three consecutive tests without a single advisory or failure. This is a strong indicator that the car has been kept in sound mechanical order, with no recurring faults or emerging deterioration flagged by DVSA testers over the past four years. The mileage profile tells a consistent story of gentle use. At roughly 19 years old with 109,783 miles recorded, the annual average sits at approximately 5,778 miles, well below the UK typical of 8,000 to 12,000. The progression is steady and unremarkable: 99,196 miles in December 2022, 108,269 miles by December 2023, and 109,783 miles in May 2025. That equates to around 9,000 miles covered in the thirteen months between the 2022 and 2023 tests, then only 1,514 miles in the seventeen months leading to the 2025 test. The latter figure suggests the car has seen very light recent use, possibly short urban trips or extended periods of standing, which can introduce its own concerns around brake corrosion, tyre perishing, and fuel system condensation despite the clean MOT outcome. Buyers should still approach a physical inspection with a critical eye, particularly given the vehicle's age. The absence of any advisories on the record is encouraging, but it does not substitute for a thorough underbody check for structural corrosion, especially around sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points, which are common failure areas on older Honda Jazz models. The rear brake setup on these cars is prone to binding calipers and uneven disc wear, so a road test should include low-speed braking and a check for dragging or pulling. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be inspected for deterioration, as rubber components degrade with age regardless of mileage. Tyre condition deserves attention too; low annual mileage often means tyres age out before they wear out, so check the DOT date codes for anything over six years old. The exhaust system and catalytic converter should be examined for corrosion and emissions compliance, particularly if the car has been doing short journeys that prevent the exhaust from reaching full operating temperature regularly. Overall, the MOT record paints a picture of a well-maintained, lightly used small car with no documented mechanical or structural faults. The clean pass history is a genuine positive, but age-related checks remain essential before purchase.
