2009 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · FY59 DVM

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a consistent history of passing MOT tests, though the record shows a recurring pattern of consumable wear. The most recent test on 8 November 2025 at 104,881 miles passed, but the tester flagged thin brake pads on both the front and rear axles. This advisory follows a similar pattern seen in July 2018 and August 2017, suggesting that while the vehicle remains roadworthy, brake component replacement follows a predictable wear cycle rather than proactive replacement. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,169 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 29,819 miles in August 2013 to the current 104,881 miles. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, which indicates regular annual inspections. The steady increase in mileage suggests the car has been used for routine commuting rather than sitting idle for long periods, which helps mitigate the risk of seized components or perished rubber seals. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and suspension components. The record shows multiple instances of worn brake discs and pads, including a failure in November 2020 due to pitting and scoring on all discs. Recent advisories regarding thin pads mean a full brake service may be required shortly. Suspension and steering components have also required attention, specifically the rear axle bushes flagged in November 2023 and the anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust covers that failed in 2019 and 2020. Tyre maintenance appears somewhat reactive. The tester noted worn tyres on the front in both 2021 and 2022, with the 2024 test at 91,780 miles specifically flagging an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit. Given the age of the vehicle and the history of suspension bush wear, a thorough check of the chassis for corrosion and the condition of all rubber bushings is advisable to ensure no further deterioration has occurred since the last recorded advisory.
