2008 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · FP08 YRW

The most recent MOT was on 2026-03-14 — just three months ago — and it passed at 91,950 miles. However, that same day also recorded a failed test at the same mileage, likely due to the engine MIL fault, which prevented emissions testing and caused the initial failure before being rectified. Tyre wear is now a clear and repeated issue: both front tyres are worn close to the legal limit and show edge wear — flagged in both the March 2026 pass and fail records. This strongly suggests misalignment, worn suspension components (e.g., ball joints, wishbone bushes), or incorrect inflation over time. Front brake discs are also noted as worn but not excessively — consistent with age and low annual mileage, but now paired with a “fluctuating” service brake, hinting at uneven disc wear or caliper issues. The trend is worsening. The 2024 and 2025 tests showed isolated, fixable faults — a rear brake disc defect, then exhaust and lamp failures — all resolved. But the 2026 entries reveal multiple concurrent safety-critical items: compromised tyre condition, borderline brake discs, inconsistent braking feel, and an unresolved engine management light that reappeared after repair. That MIL fault has not been cleared in the latest pass — it was fixed just enough to pass, but its recurrence signals underlying engine or emissions system trouble. At 91,950 miles over 18 years, average use is about 5,100 miles per year — well below typical UK usage.
