2009 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · LL09 OXA

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward deferred attention regarding braking components. The most recent test in October 2025 at 34,720 miles identified thin rear brake pads and pitted, scored discs on both sides. This follows an advisory from October 2024 at 31,946 miles where the pads were already flagged as wearing thin, indicating that the previous owner neglected to replace these consumables before they reached significant degradation. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,042 miles per year. Between October 2021 and October 2025, the car covered only 9,756 miles, suggesting long periods of inactivity or minimal use. While low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often leads to age-related failure of rubber-based components, which is evident in the 2023 advisories. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as the 2023 test noted severely deteriorated dust covers on both anti-roll bar linkage ball joints and perishing on the nearside front tyre. These issues are typical of dry rot and corrosion caused by vehicles that sit stationary for extended periods. The rear braking system requires immediate attention as the persistent pitting on the discs and thin pads now necessitate replacement. Additionally, the missing rear seats noted in the 2024 record suggest the interior trim and seatbelt mechanisms should be verified for structural integrity and compliance.
