2016 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · KD16 WTO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test on 4 August 2025 at 28,635 miles resulted in a pass following a failure on the same day. The failure involved minor items including a high offside front headlamp aim and a defective rear windscreen wiper blade. While the immediate issues were rectified, the recurring tyre defects suggest the owner only addresses faults once they result in a formal MOT failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,864 miles per year. Between August 2024 at 22,725 miles and August 2025 at 28,635 miles, the car covered only 5,910 miles. This low annual usage typically reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it introduces specific risks regarding rubber components. The record shows the vehicle has likely sat for long periods, which is evidenced by the condition of the tyres noted in multiple tests rather than depth of tread wear. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the tyres, as the history shows a persistent trend of structural damage. In August 2023 at 17,041 miles, the car failed for structural tears and separation on the front tyres alongside perishing on all four corners. By the 2025 test, new cuts appeared on the nearside front and rear tyres. Low mileage often leads to rubber dry rot and sidew cracking due to age rather than use. You should check the sidewalls for deep cracking and ensure the tyres are not aged out despite having remaining tread.
