2009 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · SP59 VUT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of minor inconsistency. The most recent MOT test conducted on 8 December 2025 at 46,022 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets all legal standards. While the history shows two failures in late 2023 and 2024, the owner consistently addressed the necessary repairs to secure subsequent passes, suggesting a reactive but effective approach to maintenance. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old Honda, averaging approximately 2,700 miles per year. Between the November 2023 test at 43,247 miles and the December 2024 test at 44,530 miles, the vehicle covered only 1,283 miles. Such low usage suggests the car likely sits stationary for long periods or remains sheltered. While this reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine internal components, it often increases the risk of dry rot in rubber seals, fluid breakdown, and brake corrosion due to lack of movement. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related failure rather than mileage-related wear. The recurring failures in 2023 and 2024 indicate that minor items like bulbs, wipers, or small exhaust components have reached the end of their lifespan. Given the low annual mileage, inspect the tyres for cracking in the sidewalls and check the brake discs for pitting or rust from disuse. Additionally, examine the underbody and suspension mounting points for structural corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles are still susceptible to environmental degradation regardless of how few miles they have driven.
