2008 Honda Jazz 1.2L Petrol · NG08 GOP

The vehicle is currently road‑worthy, having passed the most recent MOT on 19 February 2026 at 75,073 miles. The test recorded tyre tread approaching the legal limit on the near‑side front and off‑side rear, and a slight play in the near‑side front wheel bearing, but no failures were noted. Over the past two years the record shows a pattern of minor, isolated defects that have been remedied, indicating a stable maintenance trend rather than a worsening one. At 75,073 miles the car averages roughly 4,200 miles per year, well below the typical usage for an eighteen‑year‑old model. Mileage rose from 72,531 miles in March 2025 to the current reading in February 2026, a modest increase of about 2,500 miles, suggesting consistent, low‑intensity use. No large mileage spikes or prolonged gaps appear in the history, reinforcing the impression of careful ownership. A prospective buyer should focus on the recurring items flagged in the MOT history. Verify that the tyre tread on the near‑side front and off‑side rear remains above the legal minimum and inspect the wheel bearing for any increase in play. Examine the near‑side front track‑rod end ball joint for looseness and ensure its dust cover is secure, as previous tests noted slight play and an insecure cover. Test the windscreen wipers for effective clearing, and confirm that headlamp lenses are free of significant damage. Although earlier tests highlighted corrosion on brake pipes, no recent defects were recorded; nevertheless, a visual check of all brake lines and the parking brake adjustment is prudent. Finally, a general inspection for suspension bush wear, rust on structural panels, and overall chassis integrity will confirm that the vehicle’s low mileage has not concealed any hidden deterioration.
