2010 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · SM60 AEF

This Honda Jazz presents a stable and clean MOT history, with the most recent test on 2 February 2026 at 84,940 miles showing no defects whatsoever. The pattern holds consistently across the last three annual tests— February 2024 (79,985 miles) , February 2025 (84,075 miles) , and the latest—all passing without advisories or failures. The only anomaly is the duplicate entry on 17 November 2022 , where the vehicle was tested twice in the same day, once failing and once passing, both at 75,112 miles , though neither record specifies a reason. Beyond that, the absence of recurring advisories or defects suggests the car has either been well-maintained or, more likely, driven lightly enough to avoid excessive wear on critical systems. The mileage progression is unusually low for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging just 5,309 miles per year —well below the UK average for its age. The gap between November 2022 (75,112 miles) and February 2024 (79,985 miles) spans nearly 15 months with only 4,873 miles covered , indicating prolonged periods of minimal use. This could imply the car was stored, used sparingly, or kept in a low-activity role. Such light usage typically reduces wear on suspension components, brake systems, and drivetrain, but it may also mask latent issues if fluids were neglected during inactivity. The lack of mileage accumulation aligns with the pristine MOT records, reinforcing the impression of careful ownership—or at least avoidance of heavy daily use. Given the clean history, a prospective buyer should still verify a few key areas in person. The suspension —particularly the coil springs, anti-roll bars, and bushings —should be checked for signs of sagging, corrosion, or hardening, as even low-mileage vehicles can develop subtle wear if exposed to moisture or salt. The brake system , including calipers, discs, and pads , warrants close inspection for binding, uneven wear, or fluid leaks, especially since the 2022 duplicate test suggests a potential oversight in braking efficiency. Structural integrity is less of a concern on a Jazz, but the subframe, sills, and exhaust mounts should be examined for rust or fatigue cracks, particularly if the car was garaged in damp conditions. Finally, while the MOT records show no issues, the exhaust emissions system and fuel delivery components could benefit from a pre-purchase diagnostic, as these are not always caught in standard MOT tests. The absence of advisories is encouraging, but physical inspection remains essential for a vehicle of this age.
