2012 Honda Jazz 1.2L Petrol · SD62 XMT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean mechanical record following an initial failure. The most recent MOT test in August 2025 at 11,077 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, maintaining a trend of consecutive clean passes over the last three years. This suggests that whatever issue caused the failure in 2022 was rectified and the vehicle has since been maintained to a passing standard without recurring faults. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old Honda, averaging approximately 791 miles per year. Data shows consistent intervals of use, such as the 1,376 miles covered between August 2023 and July 2024, and the 1,715 miles recorded in the most recent year. While this low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long gaps between tests indicate risks associated with the vehicle standing. The lack of any recorded advisories indicates that the car has not been subjected to high-stress driving environments. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of components affected by long-term storage rather than high mileage. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use often leads to seized calipers and perished brake lines. Examine the tyres for flat spots or sidewall cracking, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. Additionally, inspect the lower suspension bushes and structural integrity for surface rust, ensuring that the low usage hasn't masked hidden degradation in the vehicle's chassis.
