2014 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · LR64 ODF

This Honda Jazz has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness across five consecutive MOT tests, all passing without defects at the most recent inspection on 2025-08-12. The absence of advisories or failures over the past two years suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though no evidence of proactive servicing—such as brake fluid changes, suspension servicing, or corrosion protection—is recorded. The most recent test aligns with current DVSA standards, but the lack of any recorded issues does not preclude hidden wear, particularly in components like suspension bushes or coil springs, which are not routinely inspected during an MOT. The recorded mileage of 25,668 miles at the latest test indicates unusually light usage for a 2014 model, averaging just over 2,100 miles annually. This pattern is consistent across all MOT entries, with mileage increments of around 400–600 miles between tests, implying either minimal driving or prolonged periods of inactivity. Such low mileage could mitigate some wear concerns, but it also raises questions about fluid degradation—brake fluid, power steering, and coolant—if the vehicle has been stored without regular checks. The most significant mileage jump occurred between 2021-08-31 (22,942 miles) and 2022-08-09 (23,388 miles), a 446-mile increase, which remains within the expected range but does not suggest aggressive driving. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common failure points in this age range and are not tested during an MOT. The brakes, while not flagged, should be assessed for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. Corrosion checks are essential, focusing on wheel arches, sills, and subframe areas, as rust can compromise structural integrity without being visible from the exterior. Finally, verify the condition of the exhaust system for leaks or damage, as catalytic converter failures are not MOT-testable until they cause emissions failures. The absence of advisories does not guarantee these areas are sound, so thorough scrutiny is advised.
