2018 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · BV18 OKP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in minor item compliance. In the most recent test on 22 August 2025 at 31,649 miles, the car initially failed due to a non-functional central stop lamp and body damage to the nearside rear door and wing. While these were rectified to secure a pass, the introduction of a strong advisory for nearside front enough pads wearing thin indicates that consumables require attention. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,956 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-usage patterns, moving from 20,346 miles in August 2022 to 27,878 miles in August 2024, and reaching 31,649 miles by 2025. This low mileage suggests the car has seen light use, but it correlates with specific concerns regarding rubber-based components. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyres, as the history reveals a recurring issue with perishing and cracking. Between 2022 and 2023, multiple advisories noted the offside and nearside rear tyres were perishing on the outer walls, which is a common symptom of low-mileage vehicles where the rubber dries out from lack of movement. Additionally, the nearside front enough enough flagged in the 2025 test should be measured for remaining life to ensure they were actually replaced. The bodywork to the nearside rear door and wing noted in 2025 should also be examined for hidden structural damage or poor repair quality resulting from the impact.
