2005 Honda Jazz 1.2L Petrol · MT55 ACF

This 2005 Honda Jazz has maintained a consistent MOT pass record since its most recent test on 2025-07-02 , with no defects or advisories recorded at 74,738 miles . The single failure in 2024-06-26 —though unusual—was not repeated in subsequent tests, suggesting either a one-off oversight or a non-recurring issue. The vehicle’s roadworthiness remains stable, though the brief failure warrants scrutiny of the specific component(s) involved, which were not detailed in the record. No advisories imply deferred maintenance, and the lack of recurring faults suggests the car has been kept in a state of basic compliance. The recorded mileage of 74,738 miles over 21 years equates to approximately 3,559 miles per year , a figure well below the average for a vehicle of this age. The gap between tests—particularly the 15-day window between the 2024-06-26 failure and the 2024-07-03 pass —is unusual but not inherently concerning unless the failure was critical. There is no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation, and the steady progression suggests either light usage or prolonged periods of storage. The absence of multiple tests in close succession also indicates no history of rushed or repeated MOT attempts. Given the lack of detailed failure reasons, a prospective buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components , particularly bushes and coil springs , as these are common failure points in vehicles of this age. The 2024 failure —if not documented—may have involved binding brakes, worn tyres, or suspension irregularities , all of which could recur. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, while exhaust emissions should be verified as compliant, given the car’s age. Structural rust , particularly around wheel arches and sills, should be assessed, as this is a critical long-term risk for a vehicle this old. Tyres —though not flagged—should be examined for uneven tread wear, which could indicate alignment or suspension issues. The service history (if available) would provide further clarity on maintenance patterns.
