2009 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · LB09 FWA

This vehicle presents a pattern of long-term roadworthiness characterized by a clean recent history, following a period of minor advisories and minor defects between 2019 and 2022. The most recent inspection on 05 June 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a three-year trend of defect-free results since 2023. While the earlier records show intermittent issues such as defective wiper blades and tyre damage, the absence of any recorded failures or structural advisories across the documented testing period indicates a stable mechanical trajectory in the most recent years. The recorded mileage of 34,125 miles for a 2009 model represents an unusually low usage profile, averaging approximately 2,007 miles per year. Such low annual accumulation often suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary or has been used strictly for short-distance local trips. Mechanically, while this reduced mileage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it can also mean that certain rubber components, such as suspension bushes or seals, have been subject to less frequent cycling, and the vehicle may have experienced longer intervals between mechanical operation. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system, as the 2022 MOT record specifically flagged both front and rear brake pads as wearing thin. Although the subsequent tests in 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 show no further advisories for this component, it is essential to verify the current thickness of the pads and the condition of the discs. During a test drive, listen for any metallic grinding sounds during deceleration and feel for any pedal judder or pulsations, which could indicate warped discs or uneven pad wear resulting from the previous advisory state. Given the low mileage and the historical presence of minor defects like wiper blades and tyre issues, a thorough inspection of all rubber-based components is advisable. Check the condition of the windscreen wiper arms and blades for streaking, and inspect the tyres for any signs of perishing or sidewall cracking that can occur when a vehicle is driven infrequently. Additionally, because the vehicle has been driven so little over its seventeen-year lifespan, listen for any unusual knocks or knocks from the suspension over speed bumps, which may indicate that bushes or dampers have aged despite the low mileage.
