2019 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · LL69 NBM

The Honda Jazz presents a mixed mechanical picture following its most recent MOT pass on 5 September 2025 at 112,547 miles. The overall trend is neither clearly improving nor worsening, but a notable advisory at the latest test raises a flag. The tester identified the Offside Front constant velocity boot as severely deteriorated, meaning the CV joint is exposed to road grit and moisture. Left unrepaired, this will lead to joint failure, vibration, and eventual driveshaft replacement. The vehicle passed, but this is an active defect in progress, not a historical one. A buyer should treat it as an immediate repair item. The mileage accumulation tells a story of sustained high use. Between the April 2023 pass at 79,038 miles and the September 2025 test at 112,547 miles, the car covered 33,509 miles in roughly two and a half years, averaging over 13,000 miles annually in that window alone. The 2024 April failure at 102,556 miles, just three miles shy of the retest pass at 102,559 miles, shows a cluster of basic defects were addressed quickly: a missing wheel fixing, a registration plate lamp, and a TPMS fault. These are minor consumable and electrical items, not structural concerns, and the swift retest suggests they were rectified promptly. The gap between April 2023 and April 2024 saw 23,521 miles added, confirming this is a heavily used vehicle. High annual mileage at this age places accelerated wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and exhaust components. The clean passes in 2024 and early 2025 suggest no major mechanical failures were developing through that period, but the CV boot advisory at 112,547 miles is the first sign of a drivetrain component reaching end of life under that workload. A buyer should inspect the underside thoroughly, paying close attention to the condition of all CV boots, the exhaust system for corrosion, and the brake disc thickness and pad depth. Suspension joints and anti-roll bar links should be checked for play, as these are common wear points on high-mileage Jazz models subjected to sustained use. The TPMS fault recorded in April 2024 was resolved, but a live diagnostic scan would confirm the system is fully operational and no sensor faults have recurred.
