2018 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · AX18 ADZ

The vehicle presents a mixed roadworthiness profile, showing a recent decline in maintenance standards despite a clean history from 2021 to 2024. While the car passed its most recent test on 15 June 2026, the tester flagged several advisories regarding consumable components. The transition from a defect-free record in 2024 to multiple advisories in 2025 and 2026 indicates a worsening trend in basic upkeep, specifically concerning tyre health and braking components. The mileage pattern confirms this is a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. The record shows steady, incremental growth from 7,344 miles in 2021 to 23,986 miles in 2026. This low annual mileage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components rather than mechanical wear from distance. The 2025 and 2026 tests highlight this through repeated mentions of tyres cracking or perishing, a common symptom of vehicles that spend long periods stationary or are driven infrequently. A prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the tyres and braking system. The 2026 test noted front brake pads wearing thin, which suggests the pads are approaching the end of their service life. The tyre advisories have become increasingly frequent and severe, moving from simple wear in 2025 to cracking, perishing, and a cut on the nearside rear tyre in 2026. These recurring issues suggest the owner may be neglecting routine consumable replacements. Beyond the tyres, the presence of a nail in the offside rear tyre and cracking sidewalls warrants a thorough check for structural integrity in the rubber. While the MOT history shows no issues with suspension, exhaust, or structural corrosion, the recent trend of neglecting tyres and brakes indicates that the vehicle's immediate maintenance needs are increasing. Any purchase should include a budget for a full set of tyres and new front brake pads to restore the vehicle to a high standard of roadworthiness.
