2010 Honda Jazz 1.2L Petrol · DE10 NLA

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a consistent pattern of neglected rubber components and minor consumable wear. The most recent test in August 2025 at 66,104 miles passed despite advisories for a damaged offside front track rod end ball joint dust cover and perishing on both rear tyres. While the car continues to pass, the recurring nature of these minor faults suggests that the vehicle is suffering from age-related degradation rather than mileage-related stress. At 66,104 miles, this 16-year-old Honda Jazz has low mileage, averaging approximately 4,132 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns with intervals of roughly 5,000 to 7,000 miles between annual tests. The clean record from July 2021 at 42,632 miles indicates the vehicle likely sits for long periods. This lack of regular mileage accumulation explains the persistent issues with tyre cracking and perished boots, as rubber dries out and fails over time regardless of how much tread remains. A buyer must prioritize an inspection of all tyres for sidewall cracking, even if the threads appear deep, as the record has flagged perishing across multiple axles since 2022. The damaged track rod end ball joint dust cover from the 2025 test requires immediate attention to prevent dirt ingress from causing premature joint failure and steering instability. Additionally, the thin offside rear brake pads noted in 2023 indicate that the braking system is being serviced only when components reach the end of their service life. Given the low mileage and age, the inspector should also check for surface corrosion on brake discs and suspension components, which often affects vehicles that remain stationary for extended periods.
