2020 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · HG69 UWS

The most recent MOT on 2026-02-10 recorded a passed result with 17,380 miles . The only defect noted was a nearside front tyre slightly damaged (5.2.3 (d) (ii)), indicating a minor issue that does not currently pose an immediate safety risk. This aligns with a pattern of recurring tyre-related defects over the past three years, though the severity has not escalated. A consistent issue has been cuts or damage to the nearside front tyre’s sidewall , first recorded in 2023 (outer sidewall damage) and reappearing in 2025 (cut not reaching ply or cords) and 2026 (slight damage). These defects suggest either ongoing wear from road hazards or inconsistent tyre maintenance . However, the damage has not worsened over time, and no critical failures (e.g., tread depth issues or structural compromise) have been noted. The trend in defects appears stable . While the 2025 MOT included a failed windscreen wiper (3.4 (b) (ii)), this was resolved by the 2026 test. No other safety-critical issues have emerged in the last three years, and the vehicle has largely passed inspections. The low mileage (17,380 miles over six years, ~2,897 miles annually) suggests light usage or periods of inactivity , which could lead to dry rot in rubber components or corrosion in stationary systems.
