2010 Honda Jazz 1.2L Petrol · FD10 VLF

The vehicle presents a generally roadworthy profile with a maintenance trend that appears stable following recent reactive repairs. The most recent test on 23 June 2025 at 69,524 miles resulted in a failure due to a fractured offside rear coil spring, but it passed the re-test just one day and one mile later with no further defects recorded. This indicates the owner is willing to address MOT safety failures immediately rather than allowing mechanical faults to persist. At 16 years of age, the recorded mileage of 69,525 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,345 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-usage patterns, with only 3,670 miles driven between the June 2024 and June 2025 tests. While low mileage typically suggests less wear-and-tear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests often result in age-related degradation of rubber components and fluid chemistry, which should be monitored regardless of the distance covered. A physical inspection should focus on the rear suspension assembly, as the 2022 test at 60,062 miles flagged worn bushes on both the nearside and offside rear suspension arms. Given the subsequent broken coil spring in 2025, the buyer should check for signs of corrosion or perished cracking in the remaining rubber bushings. The inspector should also verify the condition of the headlamp lenses, as haziness was noted in 2022, ensuring the lenses have not degraded further to a point that affects light output or aim.
