2007 Honda Jazz 1.2L Petrol · SW07 NUV

The 2024‑01‑29 MOT, recorded at 77,260 miles, failed on multiple counts, indicating a deteriorating condition rather than a stable or improving trend. The test flagged excessively worn front suspension arm pins or bushes, front tyre tread below the 1.6 mm legal limit on both sides, a brake lever with insufficient reserve travel, and an inability to complete emissions testing, while earlier records repeatedly noted corrosion on the front and rear sub‑frames, the fuel pipe and the integral body structure. At 19 years old the vehicle has accumulated 77,265 miles, averaging 4,067 miles per year, which is low for its age but masks periods of intense use. Mileage rose sharply from 41,004 miles at the 2020‑02‑25 test to 59,433 miles by the 2021‑11‑05 test, a gain of 18,429 miles in under a year, and again increased from 64,145 miles at the 2023‑02‑11 test to 77,265 miles at the latest assessment, showing a recent acceleration in usage. A buyer should therefore examine the front and rear sub‑frames, fuel pipe and integral body structure for corrosion that may compromise rigidity, inspect suspension bushes, ball joints and strut mounts for excessive wear or binding, verify tyre tread depth on all wheels, test the brake pedal for adequate reserve travel and check the parking brake efficiency, and confirm that the exhaust system meets Lambda and CO limits.
