2013 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · BU63 AAV

The vehicle presents a roadworthiness status that is currently passing but shows a worsening trend in consumable maintenance. While the 30 June 2026 test at 61,159 miles resulted in a pass, the inspector flagged multiple issues including a worn nearside front suspension arm bush and significant tyre wear on both front tyres. This follows a failure in June 2025 at 55,548 miles where the tester identified an excessively worn nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint and an insecure rear registration plate. The transition from a clean record in 2024 to multiple advisories and failures in 2025 and 2026 suggests a decline in proactive component replacement. The mileage history indicates a low-usage vehicle, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year since its 2016 record of 22,768 miles. The data shows consistent, incremental growth, with the most recent interval between June 2025 and June 2026 showing an increase of 5,611 miles. This pattern suggests the car is used for short, regular trips rather than heavy motorway driving. While low mileage generally reduces mechanical strain, the recurring advisories for perishing tyres and worn suspension components often correlate with vehicles that sit idle for extended periods. A prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension assembly. The recent advisories regarding the nearside front suspension arm bush and the previous failure of the anti-roll bar linkage ball joint indicate that the front end is entering a period of required maintenance. The tester also noted tyre damage and edge wear in the most recent test, so the quality and remaining tread depth of all four tyres must be verified. The brake history shows a long-term pattern of wearing pads, with advisories appearing in 2018, 2021, and 2022. Although no immediate brake failures are recorded in the latest 2026 test, the frequency of these advisories suggests the braking system requires regular monitoring. Finally, the repeated mention of child seats preventing full inspection of adult seatbelts implies that a physical check of the rear belt tensioners and buckle integrity is necessary to ensure full compliance.
