2011 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · NJ61 OFN

The vehicle shows an improving maintenance trend, moving from several failures and heavy advisories in previous years to a clean pass in the most recent test on 19 December 2025 at 92,450 miles. While the July 2025 test at 90,709 miles flagged several concerns regarding corrosion on the suspension arms and shock absorbers, alongside a non-excessive oil leak and pitted brake discs, these issues appear to have been addressed or have not progressed to a failure state by the final recorded inspection. This suggests recent remedial work has been carried out to bring the car up to a passing standard. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,163 miles per year. The records show steady, predictable usage rather than long periods of inactivity or sudden heavy-duty use. The intervals between tests are regular, with the most recent entry being approximately seven months old relative to the current date. This consistent usage pattern generally supports a predictable wear rate for consumable components such as tyres and brake pads. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the underside of the vehicle to verify the condition of the suspension components. The MOT history shows recurring advisories for corrosion on the suspension arms and shock absorbers dating back to 2023 and 2025. Although the most recent test passed without defects, the previous presence of corrosion and an oil leak warrants a close examination of the chassis and engine bay for any signs of active weeping or structural degradation. The braking system also requires scrutiny. The vehicle has a history of worn discs, thin pads, and binding calipers, specifically noted in the 2021 and 2023 tests. While the 2025 advisories for pitted discs were cleared in the December 2025 test, checking the thickness of the pads and the condition of the discs is necessary to ensure the recent maintenance has been thorough. Inspecting the track rod ends and anti-roll bar linkages is also advised, as these components have previously failed due to damaged dust covers.
