2010 Honda Jazz 1.2L Petrol · FD60 BWG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The latest test in February 2026 at 92,967 miles passed only after a significant failure involving multiple mechanical and lighting defects. The tester flagged critical issues including a worn offside rear brake pad and disc, alongside headlamp alignment problems and obstructed lenses. While the car passed upon rectification, the recurring failures suggest that the owner only addresses faults once they reach the point of legal noncompliance. At 92,967 miles, this 2010 Honda Jazz has covered a low distance, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per year. This low usage often leads to the degradation of rubber components and brake systems due to age rather than mechanical wear. Between January 2024 and February 2026, the vehicle covered 21,698 miles, which represents a noticeable increase in usage compared to its historical average. This recent spike in mileage explains the accelerated wear seen on tyres and brake components despite the low overall annual mileage. A buyer should specifically inspect the rear braking system, as the offside rear unit showed a history of binding in 2025 and total wear failure in 2026. You must verify that the caliper is not seizing and that the new discs are seated correctly. The record also shows a pattern of poor tyre management, with exposed cords in 2025 and perished rubber in 2026; check the age of all tyres for sidewall cracking. Given the low mileage and age of the vehicle, perform a thorough check for corrosion on the sills and suspension arches, as long-standing vehicles often suffer from structural oxidation that MOT tests do not always highlight.
