2011 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · RE61 GDZ

The vehicle remains technically roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing mechanical wear issues. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 63,845 miles was a pass, the tester identified thin front brake pads and a persistent leaking offside rear shock absorber. This represents a progression from the clean record seen in 2022, indicating that components are now reaching the end of their service. The mileage profile is notably low for a fifteen-year-old Honda, averaging approximately 4,250 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-impact usage, with a gap of only 3,588 miles between July 2024 and July 2025. This low annual mileage often suggests less strain on the engine and drivetrain, yet it also frequently correlates with the degradation of rubber-based components and seals due to age alone, as evidenced by the front tyres reaching the legal tread limit during the July 2023 test. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear suspension and braking system. The offside rear shock absorber has been flagged for oil misting since July 2023 at 56,188 miles, suggesting a slow leak that has persisted for years and will eventually require replacement to prevent total failure. The thin front brake pads noted in the 2025 test require immediate attention to ensure stopping performance. Given the previous uneven tyre wear reported in 2023, an alignment check should also be performed to ensure that worn suspension bushes are not causing premature tyre scrubbing.
