2007 Honda Jazz 1.2L Petrol · RF07 AAX

This 2007 Honda Jazz has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness trend over its most recent MOT cycle, with no defects recorded in the September 2025 tests—despite the unusual dual entry (one pass, one fail at identical mileage). The vehicle cleared all mandatory checks in September 2024 and September 2023 without advisories, suggesting consistent compliance with basic MOT standards. However, the lack of advisories or defects in any test does not preclude underlying wear; the absence of recorded issues in five consecutive annual tests implies either diligent maintenance or deferred inspection of high-wear components. The recorded mileage of 116,193 miles over 19 years aligns with typical usage for this age, averaging around 6,115 miles annually. There are no significant gaps or spikes in mileage between tests, with increments of roughly 6,000–7,000 miles per year between September 2022 and September 2025. This pattern suggests steady use without prolonged neglect, though it does not account for potential off-record repairs or extended periods of non-use. The uniformity of mileage increments also reduces suspicion of mileage tampering, as irregular jumps or drops would be more conspicuous. Given the lack of advisories or defects in the MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components—particularly the rear coil springs and bushes—as these are common failure points in this model at this mileage. The brakes, while not flagged in tests, should be scrutinised for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been driven aggressively. Corrosion at wheel arches, subframe, and rear sills should be checked, as this is a critical failure point for vehicles of this age. Finally, the exhaust system’s structural integrity should be verified, as leaks or damage can go unnoticed without a visual inspection. The absence of MOT advisories does not guarantee these areas are free from wear.
