2009 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · FL59 EBP

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a stable trend of developing wear in specific components. The most recent test in November 2025 at 98,711 miles identified wear on both the nearside and offside front suspension arm bushes. This specific issue was also flagged during the 2024 test at 88,175 miles, showing that while the car passes, the underlying mechanical degradation has not been addressed by the previous owner. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 98,711 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,800 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, such as the 12,892 miles driven between September 2023 and November 2024, and another 10,536 miles between November 2024 and November 2025. This low-frequency use likely contributes to the recurring advisories regarding tyre perishing and cracking, which often occur when vehicles sit stationary for long periods causing the rubber compounds to age regardless of mileage. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension to check for excessive play in the arm bushes, as the repeated failures suggest these components are nearing replacement. The parking brake system also requires attention following the 2024 advisory regarding limited reserve travel on the lever, which may indicate stretched cables or worn shoes reaching the end of their adjustment. Given the history of perishing rear tyres from 2021 through 2023, the sidewalls of the current tyres should be checked for dry rot cracks, even if the tread depth appears sufficient.
