2010 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · CV10 OBF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding mechanical wear and deferred attention. In the most recent test in February 2026 at 93,276 miles, the car failed initially due to headlamp misalignment and thin rear brake pads. While it passed the retest, the tester flagged multiple new advisories including thin inner front brake pads, worn tyres, and a suspect anti-roll bar linkage. These issues suggest that components are being replaced only upon failure rather than through preventative maintenance. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 93,279 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 5,830 miles per year. The data shows a consistent increase in usage, with roughly 9,000 miles driven between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 8,400 miles in the following year. This low-to-moderate annual mileage often leads to accelerated degradation of rubber components and brake assemblies, which is evidenced by the cracked and perished lower suspension arm bushes noted in the 2024 test. A buyer must personally inspect the front suspension thoroughly, as the record shows recurring issues with the anti-roll bar linkage and lower arm bushes across multiple years. The braking system requires close scrutiny; the history shows binding rear calipers and fluctuating front discs, which may indicate seized pistons or warped rotors resulting from long periods of standing stationary. Furthermore, the light corrosion reported on the subframe and rear axle in 2024 warrants a physical check to ensure that surface rust has not progressed into structural compromise of the underbody components.
