2009 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · ND09 XCT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on April 1, 2026, at 79,042 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement after a period of significant mechanical neglect. While the most recent test initially resulted in a failure due to a perished or defective nearside windscreen wiper, the immediate rectification of this fault allowed for a pass. This indicates the current owner is willing to address safety-critical defects to keep the vehicle legally compliant. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 79,042 miles represents a low average of approximately 4,650 miles per year. This low usage profile suggests the car has seen limited road exposure, but it also correlates with the age-related degradation of rubber and metal components. Between July 2024 and March 2025, the vehicle covered 2,680 miles, confirming a consistent pattern of low-distance travel. Such low mileage often means that mechanical wear comes from time and environmental corrosion rather than high-mile friction. A buyer must pay close attention to the suspension assembly, as the history reveals a recurring issue. In March 2025 at 66,090 miles, the tester flagged the vehicle for excessively worn suspension arm bushes on three corners and corroded coil springs on both sides. Although these were reportedly replaced before the subsequent pass, the previous failure of multiple bushes suggests the rubber components are reaching the end of their life cycle simultaneously. A thorough physical inspection is required to check for play in the control arms and to ensure the previous repairs were executed correctly.
