2012 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · AV62 BPE

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a trend of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 179,833 miles passed, it introduced new advisories for a worn offside rear tyre and a front anti-roll bar ball joint with play. This indicates that while the car is legally on the road, the owner is only addressing components once they reach the point of failure or significant wear thresholds. At 14 years old with 179,833 miles, this Honda Jazz has a high mileage profile averaging approximately 12,800 miles per year. The data shows consistent heavy usage, with over 12,000 miles covered between December 2023 and December 2024, and another 25,000 miles in the year following that test. This high rate of operation puts significant strain on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems, necessitating frequent inspections of components prone to high-mileage failure. A buyer must prioritise a structural inspection due to underbody corrosion noted during the November 2024 test at 167,535 miles. Rust on the chassis or mounting members can compromise the structural integrity of an older vehicle if allowed to progress. Furthermore, the recurring issues with the anti-roll bar ball joints, which failed in 2022 and returned as worn in 2025, suggest the suspension geometry is nearing end of life. You should check all suspension bushes and joints for play and verify that the rear brake discs have been replaced since they were flagged as worn in late 2022.
