2012 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · RF61 FVZ

The vehicle maintains a generally roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test in November 2025 at 22,874 miles resulted in a pass, though it introduced advisories for perishing on both the nearside and offside front tyres. This marks the first recorded defect in several years, suggesting that the age of the vehicle is beginning to affect components despite the low mechanical usage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 2012 registration, averaging only approximately 1,600 miles per year. Between February 2021 and February 2022, the car covered just 634 miles, indicating long periods of storage or minimal use. A more significant increase in usage occurred between March 2024 and November 2025, where the vehicle clocked 7,352 miles. While the low mileage typically implies less wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often increases risks related to dry rubber-based components and brake corrosion due to inactivity. A buyer should focus their inspection on the condition of the tyres, as the 2025 advisory indicates the rubber is cracking or perishing despite potentially having sufficient depth. Because the car has sat for long periods, it is vital to check the brake discs for pitting and seized calipers which often occur when vehicles are infrequently driven. Additionally inspect the structural integrity and suspension sills for rust, as low-mileage cars are still susceptible to environmental corrosion if stored in damp conditions.
