2014 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · PJ14 ADO

The 2014 Honda Jazz shows a stable mechanical record with the latest pass dated 3 March 2025 at 21,250 miles. Five consecutive MOT tests from December 2021 to March 2025 recorded no defects, indicating consistent roadworthiness. A fail logged on 1 March 2025 at the same mileage with no faults cited preceded the pass by two days, pointing to an administrative or non-mechanical anomaly rather than a worsening trend. Odometer readings reveal exceptionally low usage for a vehicle now twelve years old. The car showed 7,022 miles in the 10 December 2021 test and only 7,623 miles at the 13 December 2022 examination, a mere 601 miles of travel that year. Distance then climbed to 13,050 miles by 18 December 2023 and reached 21,250 miles at the March 2025 tests. This equates to roughly 1,770 miles annually, with sparse increments suggesting gentle, intermittent operation rather than neglect of consumables. A clean MOT sheet does not exempt the buyer from hands-on checks of components prone to age rather than mileage. Standing periods common with such low use accelerate deterioration of suspension bushes, track rod ends, and rubber gaiters. The tester would not flag minor corrosion on structural members if superficial, so inspect sills, subframes, and brake pipe coatings. Verify brake discs and calipers for binding or lip formation, and scrutinise tyres for sidewall cracking despite adequate tread. Measured against today's date of 14 July 2026, the most recent test is sixteen months old and the MOT has likely lapsed. Prior keepers maintained statutory testing punctually aside from the curious 2025 fail, implying basic compliance but not deep mechanical investment. Commission a fresh MOT and independent inspection before purchase to confirm the absence of latent faults.
