2013 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · DV62 RRY

The most recent MOT on 15 July 2026 recorded a failure for an off‑side track‑rod end ball joint with excessive play, indicating a suspension fault that rendered the vehicle non‑compliant despite an overall pass for other items. Earlier failures in 2024 (off‑side front tyre ply exposed) and 2022 (off‑side rear tyre perished, rear brake pads thin) show a pattern of recurring tyre and brake wear, suggesting the maintenance trend is currently deteriorating rather than stabilising. At 80,686 miles the 2013 Honda Jazz averages roughly 6,200 miles per year, a mileage rate that sits comfortably within typical usage for its age. Annual testing from 2015 to 2026 shows a steady accumulation of mileage, with increments of 2,500–4,000 miles per year, and no large unexplained gaps. The mileage history therefore does not point to periods of neglect or unusually high mileage spikes. A prospective buyer should give close attention to the off‑side track‑rod end ball joint and verify the condition of all suspension bushings for signs of looseness or corrosion. The rear tyres, noted as wearing near the edges in the latest test, require a tread depth check and possibly replacement. Front and rear brake pads and discs, previously flagged as thin or pitted, merit a visual inspection and measurement of pad thickness. Finally, examine the tyre walls for any exposed cords or cracks and confirm that the vehicle’s under‑carriage is free from rust that could compromise structural integrity.
