2009 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · CU09 SWX

This 2009 Honda Jazz presents a generally stable history, though the most recent test highlights a shift toward age-related deterioration. With only 63,850 miles over 17 years, the vehicle has seen very light annual usage. While low mileage often suggests less mechanical wear, it can also indicate long periods of inactivity, which likely explains the surface corrosion noted on the underside and exhaust system. The vehicle’s condition trend is currently stable but requires attention. After two years of clean passes in 2023 and 2024, the 2026 test identified three advisory items: worn rear brake discs, an oil leak, and surface corrosion. These are typical for a car of this age that may have sat idle for extended periods. The previous issue with the anti-roll bar dust cover in 2022 appears to have been resolved, as it has not recurred. The primary risk here is the combination of age and infrequent use. Rubber components, seals, and brake hardware can seize or perish when a car is driven sparingly. The reported oil leak and brake disc wear suggest that while the car is mechanically sound enough to pass its MOT, it is now entering a phase where rubber seals and metal components are beginning to show their age.
