2009 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · WR59 EXM

The 2009 Honda Jazz presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 September 2025 at 46,223 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following an anomalous failure on the same date and mileage that listed no defects, indicating an administrative or retest correction rather than a mechanical fault. Prior annual tests in 2024, 2023, and 2022 all passed cleanly with no advisories, showing consistent mechanical condition across the recorded period. Recorded mileage stands at 46,223 against an age of roughly 17 years, averaging about 2,719 miles per year. The car covered just 1,819 miles between the September 2022 test at 41,067 miles and the August 2024 test at 44,404 miles, then added only 1,819 miles to the September 2025 reading. Such low annual use suggests extended standing periods, which can allow corrosion and perished rubber components to develop despite minimal wear to drivetrain parts. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and low-use profile. Standing time promotes seizing of calipers and degradation of flexible brake hoses that a clean MOT will not always reveal. Examine underside structural integrity for rust, particularly around sills and subframes. Check exhaust emissions and tyre sidewall condition for age cracking before purchase. The absence of advisories across five years implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but the same-day fail-pass in 2025 warrants confirmation the V5C and DVSA portal show a single valid certificate.
