2004 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · LS53 WDA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent inspection on 4 February 2026 at 94,427 miles. The maintenance trend appears consistent, though the record reveals a recurring pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. In both January 2025 and January 2026, the car failed the test just one mile after the previous annual expiry date. This suggests that the owner addresses minor defects or administrative items immediately upon notification rather than allowing long-term mechanical neglect. At 22 years old, the recorded mileage of 94,427 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,300 miles per year. The data shows a steady rate of usage, with roughly 11,882 miles covered between January 2024 and January 2025, and another 7,589 miles covered between January 2025 and February 2026. This low-frequency usage generally indicates less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though the age of the vehicle increases the likelihood of issues related to dry-rot or degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown. While the clean MOT history indicates no major structural or recurring mechanical failures, a physical inspection must focus on components common to low-mileage older Hondas. The buyer should check for corrosion on the sills and suspension mounting points, which often accelerates when a vehicle sits stationary for long periods. Verify the condition of aged rubber bushes and brake hoses for cracking, as low mileage does not prevent environmental-related perish. Given the recent failures prior to passing, inspect for minor items like light bulbs or minor leaks to ensure the previous defects were properly rectified.
