2013 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · LS63 RWW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. In the most recent test in September 2025 at 191,008 miles, the car failed due to both front brake pads being below the legal limit of 1.5mm. While it passed two miles later after immediate intervention, the tester noted that the rear brake pads were already wearing thin. This suggests that the owner only addresses critical components once they reach failure points rather than following scheduled service intervals. At 191,010 miles, this 13-year-old Honda Jazz has covered an average of approximately 14,700 miles per year. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 14,000 miles recorded between the October 2023 and September 2024 tests, another 11,000 miles between September 2024 and September 2025. This high annual usage places significant mechanical stress on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking system, which explains the frequent wear on consumables noted in the MOT history. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension components. The recurring issues with brake pads and uneven tyre wear noted in 2023 indicate a need to check for seized calipers or misaligned suspension geometry. Given the high mileage, the inspector should also look for play in control arm bushes, shock absorbers, and coil springs, which often fail at these intervals. While no structural corrosion has been flagged yet, the age and mileage demand a close look at the underbody for hidden rust that the MOT test may not yet have.
