2013 Honda Jazz 1.2L Petrol · ND13 DPK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the records indicate a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than preventative care. The most recent test in September 2023 at 143,168 miles showed an initial failure due to an excessively worn offside front anti-roll bar linkage and both front tyres being below the legal tread limit. While the car passed the re-test immediately, the failure suggests the previous owner only addressed safety-critical components once they triggered an MOT failure. The mileage progression is consistent with a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. There is a recorded gap of roughly 12,300 miles between the September 2022 and September 2023 tests, and another 15,000 miles between 2021 and 2022. This steady usage suggests regular operation rather than long periods of standing, which places consistent strain on the drivetrain and suspension components over the 143,000-mile mark. A buyer should closely inspect the front suspension components, as the anti-roll bar linkage has already failed once for excessive wear. The history also shows recurring issues with braking components, including thin pads in 2022 and pitted rear discs with a non-contact pad in 2021. You must check for uneven brake pad wear and ensure the rear calipers are not binding, as the historical data indicates the braking system has been neglected between intervals. Given that the last MOT was nearly three years ago today, the current state of the tyres and brakes requires immediate verification to ensure no new defects have developed since the 2023 inspection.
