2004 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · LV04 KYG

The vehicle currently fails the MOT, as the most recent test on 2025-09-16 was conducted 10,500 miles prior to today, indicating a significant lapse in maintenance that has since worsened. This failure is not due to a single catastrophic incident but rather represents a consistent pattern of mechanical deterioration, particularly concerning the suspension and braking systems. The test history shows a clear trend of progressive wear, where the most recent inspection revealed binding rear brakes and a corroded brake pipe, suggesting that the vehicle has not been adequately serviced for the past two years. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle is approximately 22 years old and possesses a total of 106,480 miles, which is low for its age but suggests that the driver may have maintained a lighter use profile or had long periods of inactivity. However, the mileage does not appear to be the sole driver of the vehicle's condition; the rapid accumulation of miles since the last MOT suggests that the vehicle has been driven at a high speed or subjected to frequent short trips. The gaps in the record between 2025 and 2024, specifically around the 93,331-mile mark, indicate that the vehicle was not maintained until approximately 3,000 miles ago, which is a significant gap for a 22-year-old car. Given the recurring faults identified in the MOT records, the buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to assess the structural integrity of the suspension and braking components. The history indicates that the rear suspension has suffered from excessive bush wear and oil leaks, while the front anti-roll bar has a dust cover that no longer prevents dirt ingress. These issues, combined with the corrosion on the brake pipe and coil springs, represent serious mechanical risks that require immediate professional repair rather than continued driving.
