2011 HONDA JAZZ1.3L Petrol

The vehicle remains in roadworthy condition, though the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather rather than preventative care. The most recent test on October 29 2025 at 39,083 miles resulted in a failure for a defective wiper, a torn nearside front anti-roll bar dust cover, and a perished offside rear tyre. While the car passed immediately upon rectification, the recurring nature of these minor failures suggests the owner only addresses mechanical issues once they threaten the MOT certificate status. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 15-year-old Honda, averaging approximately 2,600 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between October 2017 at 19,091 miles and November 2020 at 28,736 miles, where the vehicle sat very little for three years. This low-frequency use explains the age-related degradation of rubber-based components, as seen in the 2017 record where the tester flagged all tyres as perished despite having low mileage that would typically suggest sufficient tread depth. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on rubber components and braking hardware. The record shows a persistent trend of thin brake pads and scored discs dating back to 2018, indicating that the braking system is frequently run to its limits or suffers from surface corrosion during long low-usage periods. The 2025 failure regarding the anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover indicates that suspension boots are beginning to perish due to age. Given the previous report of a misted shock absorber and the history of perished tyres, all rubber elements must be checked for sidewall cracking and structural integrity regardless of the remaining tread.
