2017 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · LP17 VXU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 59,146 miles was a pass, it followed a failure just two miles prior. That failure highlighted multiple tyre issues across the entire vehicle and a faulty wiper blade. This pattern suggests the previous owner only addressed mechanical and safety defects when forced to by an MOT test result, rather than performing routine inspections between annual checks. At 59,146 miles over nine years, the Honda Jazz has covered an average of approximately 6,500 miles per year, which is consistent with low-intensity usage. The mileage data shows steady progression, with roughly 5,600 miles driven between November 2024 and November 2025, and another 5,600 miles between 2023 and 2024. This relatively low mileage generally preserves the engine and drivetrain, but it does not account for the specific mechanical neglect observed in the record. A buyer must pay close attention to the suspension and tyre geometry. The November 2025 advisory noted uneven wear on the nearside rear tyre and edge wear on the offside rear, which often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. Furthermore, the November 2024 failure revealed critically low brake efficiency on both the service and parking brakes, alongside dangerously thin offside rear pads. While these were reportedly repaired to pass, a physical inspection should verify that the calipers are not binding and that the brake system has been properly bled and maintained to meet efficiency standards.
