2017 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · X11 LCL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass on 13 August 2025 at 39,651 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a fluctuating pattern of reactive repairs. The 2025 test failed due to a binding nearside front brake and two tyres with cuts reaching the ply cords. While these issues were rectified to achieve a pass, the recurring nature of brake binding and tyre damage suggests the owner only addresses faults upon inspection failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old car, averaging approximately 4,400 miles per year. The vehicle recorded 29,317 miles in August 2022 and reached 39,651 miles three years later, indicating consistent low-distance use. This low mileage typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components. The 2023 advisory regarding cracking and perishing on the rear tyres is a classic symptom of a vehicle that sits for long periods or undergoes short distances. A buyer must inspect the nearside front brake assembly thoroughly to ensure the binding issue noted in 2024 and 2025 has been fully resolved through a caliper rebuild or replacement. Given the recorded history of thin brake pads in 2023, the current pads and discs should be checked for uneven wear or heat scoring. Additionally, the age of the tyres should be scrutinised for sidewall cracking, as the low mileage suggests the rubber may be out its shelf life despite having sufficient tread depth.
