2007 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · FG07 AAJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. The recent test in February 2026 at 79,195 miles resulted in an initial failure due to multiple defects including suspension, wipers, and tyres. While it passed upon immediate retest, the presence of worn front suspension arm bushes and low-limit tyres indicates that the owner is only addressing mechanical issues once they trigger an MOT failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 79,195 miles is remarkably low, averaging approximately 4,168 miles per year. The data shows a consistent but infrequent usage pattern, with roughly 7,500 miles driven between March 2024 and March 2025, and another 7,500 miles covered between March 2025 and February 2026. This low-mileage profile often leads to agerelated degradation of rubber components and fluid seals, which aligns with the worn suspension bushes and wipers noted in the most recent inspection. A buyer must inspect the front suspension geometry closely, as the tester flagged both the nearside and offside front lower suspension arm bushes as worn. Although these did not result in excessive movement at the time of the test, continued wear will lead to uneven tyre wear and unpredictable handling. The recurring issue with front tyres reaching the legal limit in both 2024 and 2026 suggests a potential alignment problem or simply a failure to monitor tread depths before they become hazardous. Given the vehicle's age and low annual mileage, a physical inspection should also focus on structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, which are common failure points for older Honda models that sit for long periods.
