2014 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · YM14 XEE

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 23 July 2026 with no defects or advisories recorded. Looking at the historical data, the overall maintenance trend appears stable, although there have been recurring minor issues regarding lighting and tyre wear. The failure in 2025 was limited to simple bulb replacements for the position lamps, suggesting a vehicle that is generally well-kept but may have experienced periods of neglect regarding routine consumables and cosmetic upkeep. With a recorded mileage of 77,340 miles over approximately twelve years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 6,445 miles per year. This is a typical usage profile for a vehicle of this age and type, indicating it has not been subjected to excessive long-distance wear nor has it suffered from the degradation associated with prolonged standing. This balanced mileage suggests that the drivetrain and suspension components should be in a reasonable state of health, provided the service history aligns with the manufacturer's recommended intervals. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system and tyre condition. The MOT history reveals a pattern of wearing thin brake pads on both the front and rear axles, as well as previously pitted and scored rear brake discs. During a test drive, listen for any grinding sounds or feel for brake shudder and uneven pedal pressure, which could indicate that the discs require replacement or that the calipers are beginning to bind. Furthermore, there is a recurring advisory regarding the offside front tyre being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edge. This specific wear pattern often suggests an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes, so the buyer should inspect the tyre treads for uneven wear and check for any pulling to one side under acceleration or braking. Beyond the mechanicals, the buyer should verify that the previously noted cosmetic defects, such as the cracked nearside tail light lens and the missing wing mirror cover, have been rectified. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the service book is essential to ensure that calendar-based maintenance, such as engine oil and coolant flushes, has been performed regardless of the annual mileage. It is also advisable to inspect the chassis and underbody for any signs of surface corrosion and check the health of the 12V battery, as these are common age-related concerns for a vehicle of this vintage.
