2009 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · NV09 WMZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its clean MOT history over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in September 2021 at 188,217 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating the car met all minimum safety standards at that time. However, because there are no recorded entries for nearly five years, the vehicle is currently overdue for its annual test and requires an immediate inspection to verify that the mechanical integrity has not deteriorated during this period of inactivity. The mileage accumulation remains consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. Between August 2018 and September 2021, the car covered 65,211 miles, showing a steady rate of use. The gap of 8,000 miles between the 2019 and 2020 tests suggests a period of lower annual mileage. The lack of advisories during these tests implies the previous owners did not ignore obvious mechanical neglect, though the long interval since the last record is a significant red flag regarding the current state of fluids and rubber components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components most susceptible to age-related degradation during the five-year gap. Given the high mileage, examine the suspension bushes for cracking and check the coil springs for perished fractures, which often fail when vehicles sit. Inspect the braking system for corrosion on the discs and seized calipers, as stationary vehicles frequently suffer over long periods. Additionally, check the chassis for structural rust, particularly around the sills and rear wheel arches, as these generations of Jazz are prone to corrosion that can develop undetected between infrequent MOT cycles.
