2010 Honda Jazz 1.2L Petrol · FM10 AEB

The vehicle presents a remarkably stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass record over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 3 July 2025 at 53,973 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This trend suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and has not suffered from the recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation typically seen in Japanese hatchbacks of this age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 16-year-old car, averaging approximately 3,373 miles per year. Between June 2021 and July 2025, the car covered only 11,165 miles, indicating consistent short-distance use or long periods of storage. While low mileage generally reduces wear and tear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk of age-related issues such as perished rubber suspension bushes, degraded fluid hoses, and brake caliper seizing if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the DVSA history, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to age rather than mileage-based wear. A buyer should check the structural integrity for surface corrosion along the sills and wheel arches, which often goes unnoticed until it becomes a failure. It is also vital to inspect the brake discs for pitting or rust due to low use and verify the age of the tyres, as low mileage often masks hard, cracked rubber despite sufficient tread depth.
