2002 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · WA52 AEN

The vehicle shows a stable maintenance trend based on the available data, though the MOT history is severely outdated. The most recent test on 24 September 2021 at 153,601 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, there is a gap of nearly five years between that last entry and the current date of 24 July 2026, meaning the current roadworthiness status is unknown and the vehicle is likely overdue for a legal inspection. Mileage accumulation has been consistent and typical for a 24 year old car. The odometer rose from 130,874 miles in September 2017 to 153,601 miles by September 2021, averaging roughly 5,600 miles per year during that period. The lack of any recorded defects or advisories across five consecutive tests suggests a history of proactive maintenance or a very light duty cycle. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the chassis and suspension components. While the records are clean, a vehicle of this age and mileage often develops corrosion in the sills and floor pans that may not have been flagged in previous years. The long period of inactivity since 2021 increases the risk of seized brake calipers, perished tyre sidewalls, and degraded engine seals. Check for fluid leaks and verify the condition of the timing belt and water pump. These are critical service items that do not appear on MOT records but are essential for a high-mileage Honda engine. Given the five year gap in testing, a full mechanical health check is required to ensure the vehicle is safe for road use.
