2009 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · FL59 EBV

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift towards mechanical wear and component neglect. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 82,515 miles passed, it introduced advisories for a corroded nearside rear coil spring and a tyre worn to the legal limit. This represents a progression from the minor cosmetic issues seen in previous years, suggesting that hardware components are now beginning to fail due to age rather than high mileage. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 82,515 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,854 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with intervals of roughly 1,200 to 1,800 miles between annual tests from 2021 to 2025. However, this low usage often correlates with the degradation of rubber components, evidenced by the perishing tyres noted in November 2024 and the corrosion on the coil spring in 2025. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the rear suspension and braking system. The tester flagged a binding offside rear service brake in November 2024, and the 2025 advisory for a corroded coil spring indicates that the rear assembly is becoming susceptible to structural decay. You should also check the track rod end ball joints, as a deteriorated dust cover was previously flagged in 2023, and verify all tyres for sidewall cracking since the history shows dry cracking is a recurring issue for this vehicle.
