2013 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · FE13 HPP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a sharp decline in maintenance standards. While it passed its MOT on 23 February 2026 at 116,710 miles, it failed a comprehensive test just two days prior at 116,655 miles. This failure revealed a multitude of defects across the braking system, lighting, visibility, and tyres, suggesting that the owner only performed the absolute minimum work required to pass the legal test rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. The record shows steady usage with roughly 8,000 miles covered between March 2023 and March 2024, and another 12,000 miles covered between March 2024 and February 2025. This regularity suggests the car has not sat stationary for long periods, yet the sudden appearance of numerous faults in early 2026 indicates that components are now reaching the end of their service life simultaneously require replacement. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system, as the February 2026 failure flagged imbalanced rear brakes, a binding offside rear caliper, pitted discs, and pads worn below 1.5mm. The excessive movement in the parking brake lever also suggests the mechanism is either out of adjustment or the cables are stretching/cording. Furthermore, the history shows a recurring trend of tyre neglect, with perishing and de-lamination noted in 2023, followed by a nearside front tyre being worn to the legal limit in the most recent test. The buyer should also verify the windscreen wiper blades and washer system, as these were specifically cited as failing to clear the glass effectively.
