2012 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · SD62 XMS

The vehicle presents a remarkably clean MOT history with a consistent record of passes over eleven years. The most recent test on 2 September 2025 at 15,535 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car remains in a high state of roadworthiness despite its age. The data shows a stable maintenance trend where no mechanical failures or structural weaknesses have emerged over the decade, suggesting the vehicle has likely been well-kept or subjected to minimal harsh road conditions. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 2012 Honda Jazz, averaging only approximately 1,100 miles per year. Between 2020 and 2025, the car covered just 9,302 miles, which reflects long periods of stationary or very short journeys. While this low mileage reduces wear on the engine, drivetrain and suspension components, it often introduces risks associated with vehicle standing. However, the tester found no evidence of seized calipers, degraded brakes, or perished rubber components that are typically caused by lack of use in older age vehicles. The only minor technical note in the history occurred in September 2018 at 4,805 miles, where the tester flagged the nearside and offside rear brake discs as being slightly corroded. This is a common occurrence for low-mileage cars where brake components are not used frequently enough to clear surface rust. Since subsequent tests from 2019 onwards recorded no such issues, it appears the discs were either replaced or the corrosion remained superficial only. A buyer should still verify the age of the tyres and rubber bushings, as low-mileage vehicles suffer from age-related rubber degradation before tread wear becomes a factor.
