HONDA JAZZ2018 · 1.3L PETROL

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recurring pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in July 2025 at 31,376 miles passed with advisories for perishing and cracking on the offside front and rear tyres. This indicates that while the car is mechanically functional, the rubber components are failing due to age and stagnation rather than mileage, consistent with the low annual usage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old Honda, averaging approximately 3,900 miles per year. Between July 2022 at 23,978 miles and July 2025 at 31,376 miles, the vehicle covered only 7,398 miles. This low usage typically reduces mechanical wear on the engine and gearbox, but it explains the recurring issues with tyre degradation and brake components, which often dry out when a vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer must focus inspection on the braking system and tyres. The July 2024 failure highlighted multiple defects, including thin brake pads on both axles and defective wiper blades, following similar thin pads in June 2023. This suggests the owner only replaces components when they trigger an MOT failure. The persistent mentions of tyre cracking and perishing across 2023, 2024, and 2025 confirm that the rubber is reaching the end of its structural life regardless of tread depth. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion from low activity, which is common in vehicles of this mileage bracket.
