2013 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · LG63 DJF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative maintenance. In the most recent test on December 8,2025 at 69,866 miles, the car failed due to a compromised nearside front anti-roll bar linkage and a worn tyre. While the vehicle passed immediately following these rectifications, the recurring failure of suspension-related components across multiple years suggests that parts are only replaced once they reach the point of a test failure. The mileage profile is notably low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,374 miles per year. Between December 2024 (66,720 miles) and December 2025 (69,866 miles), the car covered only 3,146 miles. This low annual usage often reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it can also lead to the degradation of rubber components and corrosion of braking surfaces due to inactivity, which is consistent with the binding brake issues noted in the records. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension, specifically the anti-roll bar linkages which showed a history of deterioration from 2023 through 2025. The rear braking system requires attention, as the history shows pitted discs and thin pads in 2024, followed by a binding nearside rear service brake in late 2025. It is essential to verify if the caliper is seizing or if the handbrake has been properly adjusted. Furthermore, the uneven wear on the nearside front tyre noted in the latest test suggests a potential alignment or suspension geometry issue that should be checked to prevent premature wear of new tyres.
