2011 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · LO11 CZY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its most recent inspection in July 2025, though the overall maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. While the car passed without major failures, the tester identified thinning front brake pads and worn discs, alongside minor defects in headlamp lenses. The history suggests that while the car remains mechanically sound, components are only being addressed once they reach the limit of legal or operational tolerance during the MOT process. The mileage profile is notably low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year. There is a significant gap of over 7,400 miles between July 2023 and July 2024, followed by another 7,800 miles before the 2025 test. This low annual usage explains the relatively low own reading, but it often correlates with the degradation of rubber-based components, as evidenced by perishing tyres noted in the 2023 record. A buyer should focus their inspection on the front suspension, specifically the nearside lower control arm bushes and anti-roll bar linkages which have been flagged for wear across multiple years. There is also persistent evidence of corrosion on the brake hoses at the ferrules, which has been noted since 2023 and requires close monitoring to ensure it does not progress to a structural failure. Given the low mileage and age, a thorough check for sidewall cracking on tyres and perished rubber seals is essential, as these areas are prone to age-related decay irrespective of distance driven.
