2007 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · SJ07 CFU

The most recent MOT on 2025-11-13 recorded a pass at 177,821 miles, but the prior entry on 2025-11-12 showed a failure. The failed test highlighted multiple issues, including offside side repeater damage, incorrect headlamp aim, and a tyre worn close to the legal limit. These defects suggest ongoing maintenance needs, particularly with lighting systems and tyre condition. The recent pass indicates repairs were likely made, but the proximity of the failure and pass raises questions about the vehicle’s reliability. Recurring mechanical patterns include braking system weaknesses, such as parking brake efficiency just meeting standards in multiple tests, and suspension bushing issues flagged in 2024. Lighting defects also persist, with headlamp aim, position lamps, and repeaters failing or requiring attention across several MOTs. Tyre wear and mirror damage appear repeatedly, pointing to potential neglect or chronic wear in these areas. The trend shows no clear improvement. While the latest MOT passed, the history reveals consistent issues with safety-critical components like brakes, suspension, and lighting. The vehicle’s age and mileage (19 years, 177,821 miles) align with typical usage, but the frequency of defects suggests higher-than-average wear or inconsistent maintenance.
