2008 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · RE08 AEP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of deferred suspension and exhaust repairs. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 124,607 miles passed, it carried an advisory for play in the offside front suspension top mount. This follows a failure just two weeks prior where the car failed multiple emissions tests and had a worn nearside front anti-roll bar linkage. The pattern suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they result in an MOT failure, rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 124,607 miles, this 18-year-old Honda has averaged approximately 6,900 miles per year, which is consistent with typical low-mileage use. The record shows a consistent history of annual testing dating back to 2018. However, the mileage accumulation between October 2021 and October 2025 shows roughly 30,000 miles covered, during which the vehicle began returning more frequently for failures, indicating age-related wear on rubber and metal components despite the low annual mileage. A buyer must focus specifically on the front suspension geometry, as ball joints, anti-roll bar links, and MacPherson strut bushes have failed repeatedly over the last five years. The 2025 failure for high carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and lambda indicates a potential combustion issue or a failing oxygen sensor that should be verified to ensure the engine remains efficient. Additionally, the history of a leaking hydraulic brake cylinder in 2021 and an ABS fault lamp in 2023 necessitates a thorough inspection of the braking system for any residual leaks or electronic faults.
