2004 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · WV53 GPU

The 2004 Honda Jazz remains roadworthy, with the March 4 2026 MOT at 32,947 miles confirming a pass and no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past four years. Mileage has risen modestly from 30,490 miles in January 2022 to 32,947 miles in March 2026, an average of roughly 600 miles per year, well below the 1,500 miles per year typical for a 22‑year‑old vehicle, indicating light usage or extended periods of inactivity; the interval between the 2025 and 2026 tests added 591 miles in 11 months, the largest annual increase in the record. A buyer should examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify that the rear brake calipers move freely and that the brake discs show even wear, and inspect the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks, as these components are common failure points even when the MOT records no defects. The chassis and structural members should be checked for rust, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, and the tyre tread depth and condition should be confirmed, since low mileage does not guarantee absence of age‑related deterioration.
