2004 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · FL54 CDF

The most recent MOT on 2026-04-16 recorded two brake-related advisories: both front brake discs were worn, pitted, or scored (but not seriously weakened), and both front brake pads were wearing thin. These issues suggest gradual deterioration in the braking system, likely due to age or infrequent use. No other defects were noted, and prior MOTs from 2025 to 2023 showed no issues, indicating a clean record until this latest test. The pattern of defects is limited to braking components, with no evidence of recurring or escalating problems. The 2022 MOT mentioned a minor shock absorber oil mist, but this was not repeated in later tests. Overall, the vehicle’s condition appears stable over the past four years, with the latest issues likely reflecting natural wear rather than a worsening trend. The vehicle’s mileage of 116,873 miles over 22 years averages 5,312 miles annually, which is low for its age. This could indicate light use or periods of inactivity, which may accelerate wear on components like brakes and suspension due to lack of regular operation. However, the absence of major defects in prior MOTs suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained despite its age. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the brake discs and pads for further wear, as well as checking the shock absorbers for leaks or uneven compression.
