2011 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · CE61 ODG

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a consistent pattern of reactive rather than proactiveicing. The most recent test in September 2024 at 118,197 miles flagged the vehicle for thin rear brake pads and an inoperative offside registration plate lamp. While the car passed, the recurring nature of brake component wear across multiple years suggests the owner only addresses faults when they approach MOT failure thresholds rather than following a scheduled service interval. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,880 miles per year. Between September 2021 at 94,954 miles and September 2024 at 118,197 miles, the car covered 23,243 miles, indicating steady annual usage. This steady mileage suggests regular operation rather than long periods of standing, which explains the gradual degradation of rubber components and braking hardware noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, given the repeated reports of thin pads on both front and rear axles in 2022, 2023, and 2024. The 2023 entry specifically noted worn front brake discs, so these should be checked for thickness and surface pitting to ensure safe stopping. Additionally, the 2023 report of a nearside front tyre worn on the edge indicates a potential alignment issue or suspension wear that should be verified to prevent further further tyre failure. Specific attention should also be paid to the chassis for structural corrosion, although the record does not highlight any structural failures to date for this Honda Jazz of this age. The 2022 failure regarding the ineffective windscreen wiper was a minor consumable issue, but the buyer should verify that all wiper blades and glass are currently in good condition to avoid visibility issues.
