2013 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · FT63 KKY

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recurring pattern of minor rubber-component degradation. The most recent test in February 2026 at 71,799 miles passed with an advisory for a damaged track rod end ball joint dust cover. This follows a previous failure in January 2025 where the same component and an anti-roll bar drop link boot were flagged. While the car consistently passes after remedial work, the repeated appearance of perished boots suggests components are reaching end of life due to age rather than mileage. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 71,799 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,500 miles. The data shows a significant gap in usage between December 2022 and February 2024, where the car covered only 3,114 miles in fourteen months. This low-intensity use often correlates with the specific issues noted in the record, such as the January 2025 failure for perishing and cracking front tyres. The vehicle likely sits for extended periods, which can lead to dry rot and brake corrosion despite the low mechanical wear seen. A buyer should physically inspect the front suspension for signs of seized joints or split rubber, as the track rod ends and anti-roll bar links have already required multiple attentions. The offside rear service brake fluctuation noted in late 2022 at 58,434 miles should be checked for disc thickness variations or a sticking caliper. Given the advisory for perishing tyres in 2025, the age of the current rubber must be verified for sidew cracking, as the low mileage often masks structural failure of the tyre compound.
