2016 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · DX66 WMC

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a consistent failure to address minor defects proactively. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 39,179 miles passed, the recurring advisory for a nearside rear tyre worn to the legal limit indicates a persistent oversight. This specific issue has appeared across the last three annual tests, suggesting a pattern where the owner only replaces components upon failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old Honda, averaging approximately 3,900 miles per year. Between September 2021 and September 2022, the car covered only 3,139 miles, indicating very light use or long stationary periods. However, the usage increased slightly between late 2022 and late 2024, with 9,598 miles recorded in that interval. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine but increases the risk of dry degradation in rubber components and corrosion on brake discs resulting from infrequent use. A buyer must specifically inspect the nearside rear suspension and alignment, as the repeated edge-wear on the tyre across 2023, 2024, and 2025 suggests a persistent geometry issue or a worn trailing arm. The advisory for thin rear brake pads in November 2023 at 30,526 miles further confirms that braking components are being run until necessary. Given the low mileage, a physical inspection should also check for pitting on the brake rotors and seized caliper sliders, which are common failure points on vehicles that sit for long periods between uses.
