2018 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · POP 411

The vehicle remains legally roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a persistent trend of neglect regarding basic consumables. The most recent test on 18 June 2025 at 44,984 miles reflects a pass despite recurring advisories for perishing and cracking on all four tyres. This issue dates back to at least the June 2024 test, indicating that the rubber compound is failing due to age and exposure rather than wear, despite the low annual mileage. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old Honda, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year. Between June 2021 and June 2025, the car covered 23,563 miles, which suggests consistent short-distance urban use or periods of sitting stationary. While this low usage generally reduces strain on the engine and drivetrain, it explains the accelerated degradation seen in the tyres and wiper blades noted in the 2022 and subsequent records, as these components often dry out over time regardless of tread tread depth. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the nearside outer body sill. The 2023 test at 34,447 miles flagged a deformation in the structural integrity, and while it passed, any deformation in the sill area requires close scrutiny for hidden corrosion or previous impact damage that the MOT tester cannot fully quantify. Furthermore, the recurring reports of perishing tyres and cut sidewalls across the 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests suggest the current set is nearing the end of its life and requires immediate replacement to prevent structural failure from the sidewall cracks.
