2009 Honda Jazz 1.2L Petrol · RE59 EYF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following the October 2025 MOT, though the maintenance record suggests a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive care. The most recent test passed the car, but the tester noted light oil misting on the nearside and offside rear shock absorbers, a condition that often precedes a more serious failure if left unaddressed. Prior to that, the October 2024 test failed due to headlamp aim and tyre condition faults, which were seemingly rectified before the 2025 pass. The mileage accumulation is moderate for the vehicle's age. Between October 2019 and October 2025, the car logged roughly 40,000 miles, averaging about 6,600 miles per year. This suggests the car has been driven regularly rather than left standing, which is positive for corrosion management, but the rate of tyre replacement implied by the records indicates consumable parts were being used up. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the rear suspension and brake system. The repeated MOT failures for rear brake pads wearing thin and service brake fluctuation in 2023 indicate the braking system was under stress. The recurring tyre failures, including structural tears in 2017 and worn edges in 2024 and 2025, suggest the previous owners may have opted for cheaper replacements. The lighting circuitry also requires checking, as position lamp failures appear regularly in the history.
