2014 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · PX63 YVY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the recent MOT history indicates a reactive rather than proactive maintenance approach. While it passed its latest test in November 2025 at 55,115 miles, this followed a failure just six days prior. The failure at 55,079 miles revealed multiple critical issues related to the braking system and lighting that were addressed immediately before the retest. This trend suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they result in a formal test failure. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between January 2023 at 48,153 miles and November 2024 at 50,107 miles, where the car sat stationary for nearly two years. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, long periods of inactivity often lead to the degradation of rubber components and seized brake calipers, which aligns with the binding brake issue noted in the 2025 test. A buyer must personally inspect the braking system to ensure the recent repairs were fully resolved. The binding nearside rear service brake and thin offside front pads indicate a potential for caliper sticking or internal corrosion due to inactivity. You should also verify the parking brake efficiency, as it previously fell below requirements in October 2025. Given the low usage and long stationary periods, check the chassis for surface rust and the suspension bushes for cracking, as these components often suffer more on vehicles that are rarely driven.
