2009 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · PJ59 LMY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on 4 November 2025 at 67,397 miles. While the overall maintenance trend appears stable, the failure immediately preceding this pass indicates a lapse in preventative care. The tester previously identified an offside front inner tyre worn to the legal limit and a binding nearside rear service brake that caused heat damage to the pads. The fact that these issues were rectified to achieve a pass suggests the owner addresses reported faults once identified. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. Between the August 2022 test at 58,860 miles and the November 2025 test at 67,397 miles, the car covered only 8,537 miles. This low usage suggests light mechanical strain, which typically preserves the drivetrain and interior, but it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components, seals, and brake-related corrosion due to long periods of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system to ensure the binding issue noted in late 2025 has been fully resolved. Heat-damaged pads often indicate a sticking caliper piston, which requires a close look to prevent future premature wear. Given the low mileage and age of the vehicle, also check for sidewall cracking on the tyres and perished suspension bushes, as these components often fail due to time rather than distance travelled.
