2010 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · BN10 HGF

Recurring issues with braking components and wheel integrity define the mechanical profile of this vehicle, with the most recent test on 12 June 2026 showing a pass despite several advisories. The history reveals a pattern of brake-related failures and advisories, including a significant failure in June 2025 for binding and imbalanced rear brakes, alongside a fractured offside rear coil spring in 2023. There is also a persistent trend regarding wheel condition, with multiple advisories for a distorted nearside front inner road wheel dating back to 2023, suggesting a recurring issue with rim damage or impact. The vehicle has covered 113,733 miles over its 16-year lifespan, which equates to an average annual usage of approximately 7,108 miles. This represents a relatively low annual mileage for a vehicle of this age. While lower mileage typically implies less wear on drivetrain components, the MOT history shows that consumables such as tyres, brake discs, and suspension linkages have still required attention, and the frequency of advisories regarding tyre damage and sidewall cuts suggests the vehicle may be subject to varied road conditions or driving environments. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system and suspension during a test drive. Given the previous major failure for binding and imbalanced rear brakes, it is essential to check for any pulling to one side under braking or a pulsating sensation through the pedal. The history of worn and pitted brake discs, combined with the recent advisory for a distorted wheel, means the buyer should inspect the wheels for any signs of structural deformation or heavy kerbing. On the road, listen for any knocking or clunking noises from the front end, which could indicate further deterioration of the anti-roll bar linkage ball joints or other suspension bushes, following the recent minor defect regarding the deteriorated dust cover. Tyre condition is another area requiring scrutiny due to the repeated advisories for sidewall damage and cuts. A thorough visual inspection of all four tyres is necessary to ensure no cuts have progressed to the cords or ply, particularly on the nearside front. Additionally, the advisory regarding damage to the nearside outer sill suggests a need to inspect the vehicle's lower bodywork for any signs of corrosion or impact damage that may not have been captured as a failure but could affect the structural integrity of the sills over time.
