2015 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · LC65 LNP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass in November 2025, but the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. While the car maintained a clean record through 2022 and 2023, the most recent MOT test at 36,428 miles failed due to a structurally compromised nearside front tyre and thin front brake pads. Although these issues were rectified to pass the re-test six days later, the presence of worn friction material indicates the owner may be neglecting routine service intervals. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,312 miles per year. Between the November 2023 test at 26,640 miles and the November 2025 test at 36,437 miles, the car covered only 9,797 miles. This low usage frequency explains the rubber-related issues noted in 2024, where testers flagged cracking and perishing on the offside front and offside rear tyres. Vehicles that sit for long periods often suffer from age-related degradation before tread depth is exhausted. A buyer must physically inspect the tyres for signs of dry rot and sidewall cracking, as the low mileage suggests the rubber may be brittle. The failure for thin brake pads necessitates a thorough check of the front brake discs for scoring or pitting, which often occurs when a vehicle is stationary frequently. Given the low annual mileage, the inspector should also verify the absence of seized brake calipers or perished suspension bushes, as well as checking for early signs of surface corrosion on the lower bodywork that can affect even low-mileage cars not stored in dry environments.
