2010 Honda Jazz 1.2L Petrol · LC10 ADV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness condition with a clear trend of improvement in recent years. The most recent MOT test in December 2025 at 96,565 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a clean pass in December 2024 at 92,849 miles. This indicates that the mechanical and safety issues previously identified have been addressed, and the car is currently maintaining a high standard of upkeep. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per annum. Between December 2021 at 77,663 miles and December 2025 at 96,565 miles, the car covered roughly 19,000 miles, representing steady and moderate usage. This low annual mileage generally limits wear on the drivetrain and engine, though the history shows that the vehicle has suffered from issues related to age-related degradation rather than high-intensity mechanical stress. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and steering components, as the record shows recurring failures in this area. The tester flagged track rod end ball joint dust covers and anti-roll bar drop link failures in 2016, 2020, and 2023. While these were rectified, the recurring nature of these faults suggests the rubber components are prone to premature wear due to age. The hand brake reserve travel noted in 2023 also warrants a check to ensure the adjustment mechanism and shoes or pads remain fully effective. Tyre maintenance has historically been a point of neglect, evidenced by multiple failures for perished or worn rubber between 2016, 2017, and 2020. Although the most recent tests are clean, the buyer must verify the current sidewalls for cracking and ensure the tread depth is sufficient across the entire vehicle. Given that no structural corrosion was noted throughout the history, the car appears to be a well-maintained example provided the current owner continues the proactive maintenance schedule.
