2012 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · LP61 PFJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass history, though the most recent test on 19 January 2026 at 22,957 miles indicates the onset of minor mechanical wear. While the car has avoided major structural or braking failures, the tester flagged a deteriorating front registration plate and light oil misting on the nearside rear shock absorber. The presence of oil misting on the shock absorber suggests the component is beginning to fail, though it has not yet reached a level requiring immediate replacement. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 2012 vehicle, averaging approximately 1,640 miles per year. The records show a very gradual increase in usage, moving from 13,632 miles in January 2021 to 22,957 miles in January 2026. This low annual mileage suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary, which can sometimes lead to component degradation despite low mechanical wear. The data is remarkably clean, with no significant gaps in testing history between 2015 and 2026. A prospective buyer should focus on the suspension and tyre maintenance. The records from 2021 and 2022 show recurring issues with tyres being worn close to the legal limit or having cuts and nails, suggesting that while the car is driven little, the owner may neglect basic consumable upkeep. The recent advisory regarding the nearside rear shock absorber warrants a physical inspection to check for more significant leaks or damping issues. The history also shows minor cosmetic and peripheral issues, such as the damaged nearside front mirror noted in January 2024 and the headlamp aim failure in 2015. Given the low mileage and the recent advisory on the shock absorber, a thorough check of all rubber components, seals, and suspension bushes is advisable to ensure that long periods of inactivity have not caused perishing or seized components.
