2014 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · LS14 FBN

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift from a perfect record to emerging consumable neglect. While the car passed tests between 2022 and 2025 without any defects, the March 11, 2026 test at 24,545 miles identified three tyre-related issues. The tester flagged a nearside front tyre with a sidewall cut and noted both rear tyres were reaching the legal limit with uneven edge wear. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,045 miles per year. Between March 2022 and March 2026, the car covered only 7,707 miles, suggesting a history of short-distance trips or long stationary periods. This low usage often reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain components, but it frequently leads to the degradation of rubber-parts, such as suspension bushes and tyre compounds, which may be consistent with the flat-spotting or wear seen in the latest MOT report. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension geometry, as the uneven wear on the rear tyres suggests potential alignment issues or worn control arm bushes. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also check the brake discs for surface corrosion or seized calipers, which are common in vehicles that are not used frequently. The sidewall cut on the nearside front tyre must be monitored closely to ensure it does not compromise the structural integrity of the rubber despite passing the recent test.
