2017 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · OV17 XDC

The most recent MOT conducted in September 2025 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating the vehicle was in a compliant state at that time. Looking at the broader history, there was a period between 2022 and 2023 where tyre-related advisories were noted, specifically regarding tread depth and edge wear on both the nearside and offside. However, the subsequent clean passes in 2024 and 2025 demonstrate that these issues were rectified and the vehicle's maintenance trend is currently stable and improving. With a recorded mileage of 63,598 miles over approximately nine years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 7,066 miles per year. This usage profile is considered low to moderate, which is generally beneficial for the longevity of major mechanical components such as the engine, transmission, and exhaust system. However, such lower annual mileage can sometimes indicate periods of extended standing, which necessitates a closer inspection of components that degrade over time through age and chemical processes rather than purely through mechanical friction. Given the previous advisories concerning tyre wear and cracking, a prospective buyer should carefully inspect the current tread depth and condition of all four tyres. Pay close attention to the inner and outer edges of the tread; uneven wear can be a symptom of misaligned geometry or worn suspension bushes and ball joints. During a test drive, listen for any rhythmic thumping or humming noises from the wheels, which may indicate tyre perishing or internal structural damage, and check for any steering pull that might suggest an alignment issue. Because the vehicle has a lower-than-average mileage for its age, you should also perform physical checks for signs of age-related degradation. Inspect the brake discs for heavy surface corrosion and ensure the calipers are not binding, as infrequent use can cause them to seize. Check the condition of the 12V battery and verify through the service history that time-based maintenance, such as brake fluid and coolant changes, has been performed according to the manufacturer's schedule rather than solely on a mileage basis. Additionally, examine rubber components like engine mounts and suspension bellows for signs of perishing or cracking.
