2014 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · CY64 HCJ

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 30,787 miles passed, the tester identified a nearside front tyre reaching the legal limit with edge wear. This follows a pattern seen in the November 2024 test where multiple components were flagged, suggesting that basic consumables are only being addressed once they approach failure thresholds. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,566 miles per year. Between November 2021 and December 2025, the car covered only 5,286 miles. This consistent low-usage pattern often reduces mechanical wear on the engine and gearbox but frequently leads to the degradation of rubber-based components. The 2024 record specifically noted perishing and cracking on the nearside rear tyre, which is a common symptom of a vehicle sitting stationary for long periods rather than being driven long distances. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The 2024 test flagged starting cracks in the front suspension arm bushes and worn front brake discs. Although the car passed since, the low mileage means the brake calipers may seize or the rubber bushes may continue to deteriorate due to lack of regular use. You should also check all four tyres for sidewall cracking and bulging, as the history indicates a tendency for age-related degradation despite the low tread depth.
