2007 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · FE07 VTD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a trend of deferred repairs regarding mechanical components. The most recent test on 12 December 2025 at 126,382 miles resulted in a failure due to a nearside rear wheel bearing at risk of overheating. While the vehicle passed immediately after repairs, the tester flagged thin front brake pads and worn bushes on both front suspension arms. This indicates that the current owner is only addressing faults once they fail inspection rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 126,382 miles over 19 years, the Honda Jazz averages approximately 6,650 miles per year, which is consistent with low-intensity urban driving. The mileage data shows steady usage, with 4,194 miles covered between February 2024 and January 2025, and another 4,561 miles covered between January 2025 and December 2025. This consistent interval suggests the vehicle does not sit for long periods, though the age of the car makes rubber-based components more susceptible to degradation despite the low annual mileage. A buyer must closely inspect the front suspension, as the worn arm bushes have appeared in three consecutive MOT tests since January 2025. This recurring advisory suggests the parts have not yet been replaced, which will eventually lead to steering instability and uneven tyre wear. Additionally, the 2024 report of corroded rear brake pipes requires a thorough visual check to ensure corrosion has not progressed beyond the surface level. Given the recent failure for the wheel bearing and thin brake pads, the buyer should also verify that the work performed in December 2025 was completed to a professional standard with appropriate parts.
