2013 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · LS63 RSY

The vehicle presents a generally stable mechanical condition, though the maintenance trend reveals a pattern of deferred consumable replacements. The most recent test on 2025-08-18 at 31,277 miles resulted in a pass, but the tester flagged advisories for both nearside and offside rear brake pads wearing thin. This indicates the vehicle is currently roadworthy, yet the braking system requires imminent attention. Front brake pads have historically worn rapidly, while the rear pads have now reached a critical threshold. The recurring nature of these advisories suggests an owner who reacted to impending failures rather than proactively maintaining the vehicle. Covering roughly 2,406 miles per year, this 2013 Honda Jazz has experienced exceptionally low usage. The mileage progression shows steady but minimal accumulation: 24,862 miles in September 2022, 26,531 miles by August 2023, 29,212 miles in August 2024, and 31,277 miles in August 2025. Such light use typically preserves mechanical components, yet the severe perishing and deep cracking of tyres observed in the 2024 test point to prolonged standing and age-related degradation rather than high-mileage wear. The 2024 failure at 29,212 miles for both front and rear tyre condition highlights that low mileage does not exempt a vehicle from rubber deterioration. A physical inspection must thoroughly assess the tyres and braking components. The repeated advisories for worn brake pads across multiple tests, including the recent rear pad warning, demand a close look at the condition of the brake discs and calipers. Previous wear could have scored the discs, and extended stationary periods may have induced surface corrosion or sticking calipers. Tyre condition requires rigorous scrutiny; the 2024 test noted deep cracking and perishing on all four tyres, particularly the fronts reaching the legal limit. Verify whether these perished tyres have been replaced or if the vehicle still rides on aged rubber prone to structural failure. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for dry rot or wear, as infrequent use can cause rubber components to degrade unevenly.
