2014 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · OU14 VVF

The vehicle holds a valid MOT certificate following the test conducted on 16 December 2025 at 148,327 miles. While the most recent test resulted in a pass, the record shows that both the December 2025 and January 2025 examinations initially failed before being rectified on the same day. This pattern of same-day failures suggests that the vehicle required immediate remedial work to meet minimum legal standards, indicating that the current roadworthiness status is contingent upon recent intervention rather than a consistent history of defect-free inspections. The mileage accumulation of 148,327 miles over twelve years averages approximately 12,361 miles per annum, which sits above the typical usage profile for this model. The record shows a high frequency of testing between December 2023 and December 2025, with three separate MOT events occurring within a twenty-four-month window. This accelerated testing cycle reflects a period of intensive use or potential ownership changes, placing significant demand on the drivetrain and chassis components. Because the MOT history contains no recorded advisories, the record lacks specific warnings regarding the condition of suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion. However, the absence of advisories does not confirm the health of these components, as testers only flag items that have reached the threshold for failure or concern. A physical inspection must focus on the condition of the suspension joints and the integrity of the subframe, as these high-mileage areas are prone to fatigue that may not be captured by a basic MOT check. Given the high mileage and the recent pattern of same-day test failures, the risk level for this vehicle is assessed as High, resulting in a buying score of 40. Prospective buyers should prioritise a thorough examination of the braking system and underbody to identify any hidden wear that the MOT process has not highlighted. Relying solely on the clean pass certificate is insufficient for a vehicle with this level of usage, as mechanical fatigue remains a significant factor for any car approaching 150,000 miles.
