2016 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · MF16 MUC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend has shifted from stable to worsening in the most recent testing cycle. While it passed the July 3, 2026 test at 28,554 miles, this followed an immediate failure on the same day. The tester flagged critical wear on both front and rear brake pads, alongside a failing offside front anti-roll bar ball joint and dust cover. Even after the pass, the inspector left advisories for very weak front suspension arm bushes on both sides, with the offside bonding specifically starting to fail. The mileage is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old car, averaging roughly 2,855 miles per year. Growth has been consistent, moving from 6,113 miles in May 2019 to 28,554 miles by July 2026. This low-use profile often leads to degradation of rubber components rather than mechanical wear from distance. This pattern is evident in the July 2022 and July 2024 tests, where the tester repeatedly flagged perishing and cracking on the rear tyres. A buyer must verify if the front suspension arm bushes and brake pads were actually replaced after the July 2026 test or if the car was passed with these items remaining as advisories. The recurring tyre perishing suggests the vehicle has spent significant time stationary, which can lead to flat spots or seized calipers. A physical inspection should focus on the condition of all rubber bushings and the integrity of the braking system to ensure the low mileage has not masked deterioration from age and inactivity.
