2009 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · AD09 NFU

Intermittent failures of critical suspension and braking components define the roadworthiness history of this vehicle, despite its pass on 21 May 2026. The record reveals a pattern of wear-and-tear defects, including a fractured nearside rear coil spring in 2022 and a dangerous failure in 2024 due to nearside rear brake pads worn below 1.5mm, alongside a worn nearside front anti-roll bar linkage. While the vehicle has passed its most recent inspections, the recurrence of these mechanical issues suggests a history of component fatigue. The recorded mileage of 152,234 miles over 17 years represents a typical annual accumulation of roughly 8,955 miles. This usage profile indicates the vehicle has been in consistent operation rather than suffering from the degradation associated with long-term standing. Mechanically, this mileage implies that high-wear consumables, suspension bushings, and drivetrain components have been subjected to standard long-term operational stress, making the monitoring of chassis components essential. Immediate attention is required for the front tyres, as the May 2026 test flagged both the offside and nearside front tyres as worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for knocking or clunking sounds when traversing uneven surfaces or during low-speed cornering, which would indicate further wear in the anti-roll bar linkages or suspension bushings following the major failure recorded in 2024. The braking system should be closely evaluated given the previous dangerous failure for rear brake pads. The buyer should feel for any pedal judder or a lack of linear deceleration during braking. Furthermore, the history of a fractured rear coil spring necessitates a visual inspection of the rear suspension for signs of corrosion or fatigue in the remaining springs to ensure the structural integrity of the rear axle assembly.
