2007 Honda Jazz 1.2L Petrol · MA07 AAV

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its most recent September 2025 MOT at 88,866 miles. The prior four tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed without issues, despite a failed test on 2022-11-18 at the same mileage. While the failed result lacks specific defect details, the absence of recurring problems in subsequent checks suggests the issue was isolated or resolved. The car’s maintenance history shows consistent compliance, with no emerging trends indicating worsening mechanical or structural conditions. The mileage of 88,866 miles over 19 years equates to an average of 4,677 miles annually, significantly below the UK’s typical usage for this age. This low mileage may reflect infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes and rubber seals. A notable jump from 73,193 miles in October 2024 to 88,866 miles in September 2025—15,673 miles in 11 months—suggests recent increased usage, potentially stressing consumables such as tyres and brake pads. The MOT record lacks gaps, but the sparse data from 2022-11-18 raises questions about the failed test’s context. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for dry-rotted bushes or worn coil springs, common in low-mileage vehicles. Check brake discs and calipers for uneven wear, as the 2022 failure may have involved minor brake-related issues. Corrosion in body seams and underbody panels is also a risk due to the car’s age and potential storage conditions. While the MOT history is clean, the lack of detailed failure records for the 2022 test means further in-person checks are essential to confirm the vehicle’s structural integrity and mechanical reliability.
