2013 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · OV63 XSX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of worsening mechanical and structural condition. While it passed its most recent test in February 2026 at 123,658 miles, it failed just four days prior due to an offside front headlamp and a missing brake pedal anti-slip provision. The presence of a binding nearside front service brake in both the failure and subsequent pass suggests that while the immediate fault was addressed, the underlying caliper issue remains a persistent concern for the braking system. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year. There is a gap of roughly 6,000 miles between February 2023 and January 2024, and another 7,400 miles between January 2024 and February 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the car is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which likely explains the gradual wear on consumables like the brake pads and discs noted in the early 2024 records. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the underside and suspension components where the tester repeatedly flagged corrosion. Since 2025, every test has noted corrosion on the front and rear suspension, with the February 2026 test confirming it is present throughout the chassis. This requires a close look at the structural integrity of mounting points to ensure the rust has not progressed beyond surface level. Additionally, the recurring nearside front binding should be tested for heat buildup to ensure the caliper is not seizing, as this nature of fault can eventually lead to premature wear of pads and discs.
