2014 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · MW63 CCV

The vehicle remains roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 27 March 2026 at 51 124 miles recorded a pass but noted defective nearside and offside windscreen wiper blades (3.4 (b)(i)). No new mechanical or structural faults appeared, indicating the car’s condition has not deteriorated since the previous test. The earlier advisory on battery security (4.13 (a)(i)) at 49 547 miles in March 2025 was also carried forward without escalation, confirming a consistent pattern of minor consumables rather than progressive wear. Mileage accumulation shows a low‑usage profile for a 12‑year‑old car. The log reveals roughly 4 260 miles per year, with the steepest jumps between 2017 and 2018 (from 9 817 to 18 908 miles) and again in 2020‑2021 (30 964 to 39 192 miles). After 2022 the rate slowed markedly, rising only 1 823 miles in 2023, 1 266 miles in 2024, 1 657 miles in 2025 and 1 577 miles to the current reading. This deceleration suggests lighter use or periods of storage, which generally benefits suspension, drivetrain and brake component longevity. The record is continuous from 2016 onward, providing a clear mileage trajectory without significant gaps. A prospective buyer should inspect the wiper system for worn blades, verify the battery mounting is secure, and check front tyre tread depth against the legal limit, given the 2016 advisory on nearside and offside front tyres. Examine suspension bushes and shock absorber mounts for corrosion or excessive play, and assess brake calipers, discs and pads for uneven wear or binding. Look for rust or corrosion on chassis components, exhaust brackets and underbody panels, especially around wheel arches and the fuel tank area. A visual check of the steering rack and tie‑rod ends will confirm steering precision, while listening for exhaust leaks will reveal any developing corrosion. These targeted inspections will complement the MOT history and ensure no hidden deterioration is overlooked.
