2010 Honda Jazz 1.2L Petrol · FV10 DPE

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent MOT test in October 2025 at 101,519 miles passed without defects, but revealed uneven wear on both front tyres, specifically on the edges. This follows a pattern of neglected consumables, seen in the 2023 failure where rear tyres perished or lacked sufficient depth. While the car currently passes, the recurring issues with tyres suggest maintenance is only addressed when a failure occurs. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 101,519 miles represents an annual average of approximately 6,345 miles, which is consistent with low-intensity usage. The data shows steady annual testing intervals, with roughly 6,000 to 7,000 miles covered between each inspection from 2022 to 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle is not sitting for long periods, though the age means that rubber components and metal hardware face inevitable degradation despite the low distance travelled. A buyer must specifically inspect the front suspension assembly, as the 2023 test flagged corrosion on both front suspension arms. Although these were not considered seriously weakened at the time, corrosion on Honda components of this era often progresses toward structural thinning. The 2022 record also noted fluctuating service brakes and a pitted rear brake disc. A physical inspection should check for excessive vibration during braking and the thickness of the rotors, as the previous records indicate a lack of recent brake system refurbishment. The uneven wear noted on the front tyres in the 2025 test points to potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. If the owner has not addressed the geometry after replacing tyres, new rubber will be ruined prematurely. Given the history of perishing rubber and corrosion, the buyer should verify the condition of all rubber hoses and the chassis for signs of advanced decay beyond the surface rust previously noted in the reports.
