2011 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · OV61 VWM

The official MOT history for this 2011 Honda Jazz indicates a roadworthy status as of the most recent assessment on 24 November 2025, where the vehicle passed with no defects or advisories recorded by the tester. However, the pattern over the recorded period is unusual: the same date appears twice, once as a fail and once as a pass, which typically signifies an immediate retest following a rectification on site. This sequence recurred identically in November 2024, suggesting a prior fault was identified, corrected, and verified on the same day. No advisories have been logged in the available record, meaning no components were flagged as approaching legal limits or showing early wear at the point of test. The mileage progression cannot be verified from the supplied entries, because no odometer readings were attached to any of the recorded tests. At 93,674 miles against a vehicle roughly fifteen years old, the implied annual mileage of approximately 6,245 miles sits within typical parameters for a car of this age and class. Without intermediate readings between the 2023 and 2025 tests, any judgement regarding rapid accumulation or extended standing periods would be speculative. The sparse advisory and failure data, combined with the absence of mileage context, means the test record alone offers limited insight into long-term wear rates on consumables or drivetrain components. A prospective buyer should arrange a hands-on inspection rather than rely on this dataset alone. Particular attention should be paid to the rear brake calipers and handbrake mechanism, given that binding rear brakes are a known wear pattern on Jazz models of this generation and would explain repeated immediate retests. The rear axle beam, trailing arm bushes, and coil spring condition should be checked for corrosion or cracking, as these areas are commonly flagged on older examples during physical examination. A thorough underbody inspection is advisable to identify structural corrosion around the rear wheel arches, jacking points, and sill seams, none of which can be assessed from the digital MOT summary alone. Finally, verifying the service book and confirming the timing belt replacement interval will provide context that this digital record cannot supply.
