2012 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · FE62 YSK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward developing wear-related issues. The most recent test on October 7 2025 at 53,689 miles resulted in a failure due to a missing offside road wheel fixing and worn bushes on both front suspension arms. While the vehicle passed the retest following rectifications, the presence of worn suspension components suggests the front end is beginning to reach the end of its service life despite the relatively low overall mileage. At 14 years old age, the recorded mileage of 53,689 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 3,835 miles per year. This low-use pattern is evident in the timeline, showing a gap of only 2,743 miles between October 2024 and October 2025. However, long periods of standing or low mileage can accelerate the degradation of rubber components and corrosion on metal surfaces, which is reflected in the 2024 advisory at 51,145 miles regarding thin rear brake pads and pitted, scored discs. A buyer should personally inspect the front suspension thoroughly to ensure the worn arm bushes identified in 2025 have been replaced with high-quality parts rather than merely adjusted. The braking system requires close attention, as the 2024 record confirms the rear components were already suffering from corrosion and wear. Given the vehicle's age and low usage, a physical check for structural corrosion on the sills and exhaust system is essential, as cars that sit frequently often suffer from surface rust that progresses if not driven regularly.
