2010 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · FX10 LRL

The 2010 Honda Jazz shows a low-use profile at 56,295 miles, but the MOT history reveals a consistent pattern of neglecting basic consumables between tests. In the most recent test on March 2026, the vehicle failed due to a non-functional nearsside front position lamp and perished on both rear tyres. While it passed immediately after rectification, the recurring presence of tyre cracking suggests the vehicle likely sits for long periods, causing the rubber to dry out and age regardless of tread depth. Maintenance trends indicate a reactive approach over several years. In February 2025, at 54,270 miles, the car failed for low offside headlamp aim, thin nearsside rear brake pads, and a nearsside front tyre worn to the legal limit. The advisory notes for perished rear tyres had persisted since the March 2023 test at 42,886 miles. This indicates that the owner only addresses faults when they trigger an MOT failure, rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance on rubber and lighting components. The braking system shows specific areas of concern. Records from March 2020 at 36,755 miles show the vehicle failed for a binding offside rear brake and critically thin pads on both axles. By February 2022 at 40,214 miles, the tester noted rear brake discs were pitted and scored. While these issues were not immediate failures, the history of binding brakes and corrosion suggests that the calipers and discs may be prone to seizing due to the low annual mileage and potential periods of inactivity. Overall, the vehicle appears structurally sound based on the records, but the low mileage has masked age-related degradation of rubber. A buyer should specifically inspect the condition of all tyres for sidewall cracking and check the brake calipers for signs of seizing, as the historical data shows these are recurring weak points for this specific car.
