2013 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · RE13 BAU

The vehicle remains roadworthy with a generally stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 May 2026 at 37,140 miles resulted in only minor advisories regarding a deteriorated rear registration plate and a coating on the offside front headlamp lens. These are cosmetic in nature and do not indicate mechanical failure or structural degradation. The history shows the car has consistently passed its inspections without any major defects over the last five years. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,857 miles per year. Between April 2022 and May 2026, the car covered only 7,013 miles, suggesting short-distance use or long periods of inactivity. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk of age-related perishation in rubber parts. The consistent annual testing intervals indicate that the owner has maintained the vehicle's legal status despite the low frequency of road use. A buyer should specifically inspect the condition of the tyres, as the May 2024 test at 34,011 miles flagged the offside front tyre as near the legal limit and multiple tyres as cracking or perishing. Given the low mileage, the rubber may dry out and lose elasticity before the tread is fully utilised. Inspection should also focus on the brake discs and calipers, as vehicles that sit for long periods often suffer from surface corrosion or seized calipers. The absence of recorded structural rust in the MOT history is positive, but a physical check of the chassis and rubber bushings remains necessary to ensure no age-related degradation has occurred undetected.
