2009 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · MT09 TTE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight shift towards suspension component wear. The most recent test in April 2026 at 90,960 miles resulted in a pass despite a severely deteriorated nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover. This follows a period of clean records in the previous years, suggesting that while the car has been generally maintained, rubber components are now beginning to reach their functional limit due to age rather than high mileage. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 90,960 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 5,350 miles per year. The data shows a consistent usage pattern between 2023 and 2026, with the vehicle covering roughly 15,000 miles over those three years. This low annual mileage typically indicates less strain on the engine and drivetrain components, but it often leads to the degradation of rubber seals, bushes, and brake components which can dry out or perish during long periods of limited use. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the suspension, specifically looking for signs of perished rubber or leaking joints beyond the anti-roll bar linkage flagged in the 2026 test. The failure in April 2025 at 84,802 miles due to imbalanced rear brakes across the axle indicates the braking system may suffer from sticking calipers or uneven wear common in vehicles that sit stationary. Given the age of the Honda, a thorough underside check for structural corrosion on the sills and floor pans is essential, as low-mileage status does not protect against environmental-related rust over nearly two decades.
