2011 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · AV61 ABK

The vehicle presents a mixed maintenance profile with a recent trend toward deteriorating tyre condition and minor suspension wear. While the September 2025 test at 60,037 miles resulted in a pass, the record shows the vehicle failed just two days prior at 60,036 miles due to a structural failure in the nearside front tyre. The most recent advisory notes cracking and perishing on both rear tyres, suggesting that while the immediate safety failures were rectified, the rubber components are reaching the end of their serviceable life due to age. The mileage pattern indicates very low annual usage, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year over its 15-year lifespan. The data shows a consistent, slow climb from 10,613 miles in 2014 to the current 60,037 miles. This low usage explains the recurring tyre issues; rubber often perishes and cracks from age and lack of movement rather than tread wear. There was a notable jump of over 10,000 miles between August 2021 and August 2022, but otherwise, the vehicle has been driven sparingly. A prospective buyer should focus on the suspension and steering components. The September 2024 test at 58,554 miles flagged a light oil misting on the nearside rear shock absorber and slight play in the offside front anti-roll bar linkage. Although these were minor at the time, the low mileage and age mean rubber bushes and seals are prone to drying out. The 2021 record also noted worn front brake discs and thin pads, so a physical inspection of the braking system and any recent replacement receipts is necessary. The recurring tyre defects, specifically the bulges and lumps noted in August 2023 and August 2025, highlight a pattern of sidewall damage or age-related degradation. Given the current date of July 2026, the September 2025 MOT is nearly a year old. You must verify that the tyres flagged as perishing in that test have been replaced, as the advisory status indicates they were already nearing the limit of acceptable condition.
