2018 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · RF67 EEJ

The Honda Jazz presents as fundamentally sound at its most recent MOT on 10 December 2025, when it passed at 53,820 miles with only a minor advisory for the nearside front tyre approaching the legal limit. The overall maintenance trend is stable. The vehicle has passed every test on record, with the single exception of a December 2024 failure for exposed ply or cords on the offside front tyre, which was rectified the same day. No recurring structural, braking, or suspension defects appear across the history, indicating a car that has been kept in reasonable mechanical order. The mileage accumulation is broadly consistent with typical use. Between January 2023 and December 2025, the car covered roughly 16,936 miles over three years, averaging around 5,645 miles annually. The jump from 42,980 miles in January 2024 to 48,517 miles by December 2024 represents approximately 5,537 miles in eleven months, which is unremarkable for a small urban runabout. The current recorded figure of 53,820 miles is the highest on file, and the gap between the December 2024 and December 2025 tests shows just 5,301 miles covered in a full year, suggesting lighter recent use or shorter journeys. Buyers should pay close attention to the front tyres. The December 2024 failure for exposed cords and the December 2025 advisory for a worn nearside front edge both point to a recurring issue, possibly indicating misalignment, worn suspension bushes, or simply a pattern of neglecting tyre condition between tests. A physical inspection of both front tyres for uneven wear patterns is advisable, along with a check of the front suspension components, including track rod ends and wishbone bushes. The rear brakes and underside should also be examined for corrosion, as the car's age and urban use profile make surface rust on brake discs and exhaust components a realistic concern despite no MOT flags to date.
