2017 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · SF17 VGC

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 14 May 2026 at 40 508 miles with no defects recorded, indicating current roadworthiness is sound. The maintenance trend shows improvement: earlier failures in 2021‑22 concerning headlamp aim and tyre condition have not reappeared, and the last three annual tests have been clean passes. The pattern suggests the recent owner has addressed past issues and kept the car in a stable condition. Mileage accumulation has been modest for a nine‑year‑old car. From March 2020 (13 680 miles) to the latest test the total rose to 40 508 miles, averaging roughly 4 500 miles per year. Test intervals are regular—approximately yearly—providing a consistent data set without significant gaps. The low annual mileage points to light usage or extended periods of storage, which typically reduces wear on consumables and mechanical components. A prospective buyer should inspect the tyre condition closely. The MOT records show recurring slight cracking and perishing on the offside front tyre (2023, 2024) and a rear tyre advisory in 2024, plus a near‑side front outer tyre advisory in 2021. These minor defects suggest the tyres have been subject to some environmental stress; a visual check for sidewall cracks, uneven wear and adequate tread depth is essential. Suspension bushes and shock absorbers should be examined for play or oil leaks, as low‑mileage vehicles can still develop bushing deterioration if stored improperly. Brake discs and pads need verification for smooth operation and corrosion, especially given the earlier headlamp aim failures that may have indicated suspension geometry shifts. Finally, a thorough under‑body scan for rust spots, particularly around wheel arches and the chassis, will reveal any hidden corrosion that the clean MOT history may have missed.
