2011 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · DA11 TYS

The most recent MOT on 2026-06-02 revealed several issues, including a damaged windscreen, a defective front wiper blade, a severely deteriorated suspension ball joint dust cover, and thin front brake pads. These findings suggest ongoing wear on critical components, with the windscreen damage recurring from earlier tests. The suspension and brake pad issues also align with patterns seen in prior MOTs, indicating potential long-term wear. Recurring defects include windscreen damage (noted in 2025, 2022, and 2026), brake pad wear (2024, 2022), and seat belt cover issues (2022). While some problems, like the drive shaft boot failure in 2025, were addressed by 2026, new concerns such as the wiper blade and suspension dust cover defects have emerged. This suggests a mix of resolved and evolving issues, with no clear worsening trend but consistent signs of aging components. The vehicle’s mileage of 197,092 miles at 15 years old equates to roughly 13,139 miles per year, which is high for its age. This level of use likely accelerates wear on consumables, brakes, and suspension systems. However, the absence of major mechanical failures in recent tests implies the car has been maintained to a basic standard. The high mileage does not definitively indicate heavy use or neglect, but it raises the risk of hidden wear in less visible systems.
