2013 Honda Jazz 1.3L Hybrid electric · MX13 RCU

The most recent MOT on 2025-06-19 shows a failed test with specific issues: both front windscreen wipers fail to clear the windscreen effectively, and the nearside and offside front upper anti-roll bar ball joint dust covers are compromised. These defects are categorized under non-safety-critical but repairable faults. A separate passed MOT on the same date suggests conflicting outcomes, possibly due to a data entry error or multiple tests. The prior MOT in 2024-06-04 and 2023-06-09 were both passed, though the 2023 test noted near-limit tyre wear on both nearside front and rear tyres. The recurring pattern shows minimal serious defects over the last three years, with the most recent failure focusing on minor components. The anti-roll bar dust cover issues and wiper performance suggest potential neglect or age-related wear , but no safety-critical failures were recorded. The trend appears stable , as the vehicle has not shown escalating problems despite its 13-year age. The recorded mileage of 62,644 miles (about 4,819 miles per year) is low for a 13-year-old vehicle , which may indicate lighter use or prolonged periods of inactivity. Low mileage can reduce wear on high-mileage components like brakes and suspension but may increase risk of issues related to infrequent use, such as seized mechanisms or degraded seals. However, the MOT history does not confirm this hypothesis.
