2009 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · DV59 XKT

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a persistent pattern of neglect regarding minor consumable items. The most recent test in January 2026 at 62,323 miles resulted in a failure due to a non-functional position lamp, misting headlamp lenses, and a perished rear tyre. While the car passed immediately upon re-test, the recurring nature of these defects across the last four years suggests the owner only addresses faults when strictly necessary to pass the MOT, rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 62,323 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 3,666 miles per year. This low usage profile explains the specific degradation issues noted in the record. Between December 2022 and January 2026, the vehicle covered only 10,310 miles, yet testers repeatedly flagged tyre cracking and perishing. This data point indicates that the car likely sits stationary for long periods, which causes rubber components like tyres and seals to dry out and succumb to age regardless of the remaining tread depth. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the condition of all tyres, as the history shows consistent failures from 2022 through 2026 due to age and cracking. The persistent misting headlamp lenses noted since 2025 suggest a failure of the unit seals, which may eventually require unit replacement. Given the low mileage and high age, it is also vital to inspect for structural corrosion on the chassis and suspension components, as stationary vehicles often suffer from moisture-related rust more than those driven regularly.
