2009 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · HG09 VMH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than preventative care. While the car passed its most recent test in January 2026 at 141,932 miles, it failed that test immediately prior due to multiple mechanical and lighting defects. The presence of imbalanced rear brakes across the axle and a damaged track rod end dust cover suggests that components are only addressed once they reach a point of failure rather than being serviced during routine intervals to prevent secondary wear. At 141,932 miles over 17 years, the Honda Jazz averages approximately 8,350 miles per year, which aligns with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age. The record shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 9,000 miles covered between January 2024 and January 2025, and another 6,800 miles between January 2025 and January 2026. This regular use suggests the vehicle is driven frequently, though the high mileage puts significant strain on age-related components like rubber bushings, seals, and suspension assemblies. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension, as the history shows recurring issues with track rod ends and anti-roll bar linkages. The 2023 report of damage to the front upper slam panel and front lower crossmember warrants a thorough visual check to ensure no structural corrosion or poor repair has compromised the chassis's integrity. Furthermore, the 2026 failure for imbalanced rear brakes necessitates a check of the calipers and handbrake to ensure they are not seized or unevenly worn from the age. The cloudy headlamp lenses noted in the latest test also indicate UV degradation which may require polishing to restore adequate night driving visibility.
