2018 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · FY68 CCE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 23 July 2026 at 49,821 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of stabilisation following a period of mechanical neglect related to the braking system. While the most recent test only flagged a minor advisory regarding a slightly damaged nearside front tyre, the clean pass in July 2025 indicates that the previous mechanical issues identified in the prior year were addressed by the owner. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical low-urban usage, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year over the eight-year period. The record shows steady progression, moving from 33,792 miles in August 2021 to 49,821 miles in July 2026 without significant gaps or spikes in usage. This low mileage suggests the drivetrain and suspension have not been subjected to high-stress conditions, though the low frequency of use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or brake seals if the vehicle sits for stationary. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system due to recurring faults across multiple testing cycles. The 2021 failure noted dangerously thin rear brake pads and a scored offside disc, followed by the 2025 failure involving binding rear brakes and an imbalance across both axles. These defects suggest a history of seized caliper pistons or poor fluid maintenance. An in-person inspection must verify that the current discs are free of uneven wear and that the handbrake operates firmly without slipping, ensuring the previous binding issues have not returned.
