2010 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · LS10 TKU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The latest test on 21 October 2025 at 148,401 miles resulted in a pass following a failure for a damaged track rod end dust cover and a dangerously worn offside front tyre. While the car passed its most recent inspection, the pattern of failing in previous years suggests that components are only addressed once they reach a point of legal failure or critical threshold. At 148,401 miles over sixteen years, the Honda Jazz has averaged approximately 9,275 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for an older city car. The data shows consistent movement, with roughly 6,800 miles covered between October 2023 and October 2024, and another 4,300 miles covered in the year following that. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, though the high mileage puts consistent stress on rubber components and braking hardware. A buyer should scrutinize the braking system and suspension during a physical inspection. The October 2024 failure at 143,953 miles revealed significant neglect in the rear brakes, specifically pads thinner than 1.5mm and obviously worn discs, alongside poor parking brake efficiency. Although these were supposedly rectified, the buyer must check for uneven pad wear or sticking calipers. Furthermore, the recently noted track rod end issue in 2025 indicates that the front suspension geometry is beginning to degrade, necessitating a thorough check for play in the steering linkage and worn bushes.
