2013 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · CU63 HGA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative upkeep. The most recent test in July 2025 at 86,349 miles passed despite a minor front oil leak and slight play in the front track rod end ball joint. This follows a significant failure in July 2024 where multiple suspension components and CV boots required attention. While the car passed its latest inspection, the recurrence of mechanical wear indicates that the suspension assembly is beginning to age rapidly across the vehicle. At 86,349 miles, the Honda has averaged approximately 6,600 miles per year over its thirteen-year life, which is consistent with typical UK domestic use. The data shows steady usage patterns, with roughly 6,400 miles driven between July 2023 and July 2024, and another 6,600 miles in the following year. This consistent mileage suggests the vehicle was not sat, but low mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber components and seals, which matches the issues seen in the MOT record. A buyer should closely inspect the front suspension geometry to ensure the track rod end issue noted in 2025 has been fully rectified. The previous failure of the offside front outer drive shaft CV boot in 2024 is a critical point; the replacement must be checked for grease leakage or tearing which would indicate an imminent joint failure. The front oil leak flagged in the 2025 test warrants a physical inspection to determine if it is a minor weeping seal or a leak requiring gasket replacement. Additionally, the noted corrosion on the front bumper mountings should be monitored to ensure rust does not progress into the structural integrity of the bodywork over time.
