2011 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · LC61 BBU

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a shift toward reactive maintenance rather than preventative care. While it passed the MOT in October 2025 at 65,794 miles, it initially failed that same test due to multiple avoidable consumable defects. The trend shows a slight decline from the clean records seen in 2022 and 2023, suggesting that components are now reaching age-related limits. At 65,794 miles, the mileage is exceptionally low for a fifteen-year-old Honda, averaging approximately 4,400 miles per year. This low usage pattern is evident in the gap between October 2024 and October 2025, where the car covered only 3,500 miles in twelve months. However, low mileage often correlates with the degradation of rubber components. The 2025 failure regarding a perished offside front tyre manufactured in 2020 confirms this, as the rubber has likely outlast its structural life despite having sufficient tread depth. A buyer should focus their inspection on the braking system and rubber-based components. The October 2025 test flagged pitted and scored rear inner brake discs, which indicates the vehicle likely sat for long periods allowing surface corrosion to develop. You must check the calipers for seizing and ensure the discs have been replaced rather than cleaned. Given the age of the vehicle and the low mileage, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, tyre sidewalls, and cracking is essential as these parts often fail from dryness and oxidation rather than mechanical wear.
