2018 Honda Jazz 1.5L Petrol · HS18 LDO

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a decline from the clean records seen in earlier years. The most recent test in July 2025 at 17,204 miles flagged an active tyre pressure monitoring system fault and a cut on the nearside rear tyre. This follows a pattern of increasing consumable issues noted in 2024, where multiple tyres showed signs of perishing and uneven wear, despite the low annual usage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,150 miles per year. Between July 2021 and July 2022, the car covered only 1,879 miles, resulting in a defect-free MOT. However, the interval of 2,878 miles between the last three tests suggests the vehicle sits stationary. Such low mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components, as evidenced by the cracking and perishing tyres recorded in the 2024 advisory. A buyer must pay close attention to the offside rear integral body structure which was flagged in both the 2023 and 2024 tests. While the tester noted structural rigidity was not significantly reduced, the persistent deformation warrants a physical inspection to ensure no hidden corrosion is advancing in that area. The buyer should also verify the brake system for rust or seizing, as low-use vehicles frequently suffer from sticking calipers and glazed discs. The active tyre pressure monitoring system light requires a diagnostic check to determine if the fault is a sensor or a genuine slow leak.
