2006 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · LT06 VLH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a consistent pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test on 18 August 2025 at 58,701 miles passed, it followed a failure just three days prior for critical safety items. The trend shows that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when forced by an MOT failure, evidenced by the recurring reports of brake pads and tyre issues across multiple years. This suggests that routine service intervals are neglected until components reach a legal limit. At 20 years old, the recorded mileage of 58,701 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 2,900 miles per year. This low-usage profile often leads to age-related degradation of components rather than mechanical wear from distance. The data supports this, as the offside rear tyre showed signs of perishing and cracking in tests throughout 2023, 2024, and 2025. Such issues typically indicate a vehicle that sits stationary for long periods, causing rubber seals and flexible components to dry out due to time despite the low tread depth. A buyer must personally inspect the front suspension and braking system, as the tester flagged a nearside front lower anti-roll bar ball joint with play in 2025. The history of a binding offside front brake in 2023 and consistently thin pads in 2024 and 2025 necessitates a thorough check of the caliper sliders and disc condition. Given the low mileage and repeated reports of perishing rubber, all tyres should be examined for deep sidewall cracking and dry rot, as the tread depth may mask structural failure of the tyre compound.
