2010 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · CK10 CVC

High mileage and a recurring pattern of tyre wear define this vehicle's roadworthiness record, though it has maintained a consistent testing cadence. The latest test on 31 October 2025 resulted in a pass with a minor defect for a side repeater lens, following a trend of minor exterior and electrical issues. Previous records indicate a history of tyre-related failures, including a dangerous failure in 2021 for exposed ply and cords on the offside front tyre, alongside repeated advisories for perishing and worn treads. The recorded mileage of 204,441 miles over 16 years represents an average annual usage of approximately 12,778 miles. This high accumulation rate indicates significant wear on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems. Mechanically, this level of usage increases the probability of component fatigue and wear on consumables, such as suspension bushings and engine mounts, compared to lower-mileage examples of the same age. Inspection should focus heavily on the tyres, checking for uneven wear or sidewall cracking, as the MOT history shows a trend of tyres being run close to the legal limit or perishing. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for knocks or rattles over bumps, which may indicate worn suspension linkages or bushings consistent with the vehicle's high mileage. The steering should be checked for any excessive play or pull to the side. Further attention is required for the exterior lighting and mirrors, as position lamps and side repeaters have been recurring points of failure or advisory. Ensure all lighting functions correctly and the mirrors are secure. Given the total mileage, a physical inspection of the underbody for any signs of oil misting or leaks is advisable, and the brake pedal should be monitored for any judder or softness during braking.
