2017 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · RE67 ERY

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, evidenced by a clean MOT pass in October 2025 at 25,795 miles. This most recent result indicates an improving maintenance trend following a period of reactive repairs in previous years. While the 2024 test identified several consumable wear items, the lack of any defects in the latest inspection suggests that the owner has addressed the mechanical and safety-related concerns previously flagged. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old Honda, averaging approximately 2,866 miles per year. Between the October 2022 test at 21,845 miles and the October 2025 test at 25,795 miles, the car covered only 3,950 miles. This low usage suggests short-distance urban driving, but it also carries risks associated with age-related degradation, such as rubber perish and brake corrosion, which can occur when a vehicle sits stationary for long periods without use. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and tyres, as the 2024 test flagged thin rear brake pads and worn discs. Although these were likely replaced before the 2025 pass, a physical inspection should verify the remaining life and check for signs of caliper binding from low usage. The significant failure in 2023 due to structural tears in three tyres indicates that the rubber compound may suffer from age-related hardening rather than tread wear. Current tyres should be checked for sidewall cracking to ensure they remain safe for road despite the low tread depth.
