2009 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · RJ09 UBE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent pass on 2 July 2026 at 75,229 miles. While the car continues to pass its inspections, the record shows a persistent pattern of minor mechanical degradation in the suspension and lighting systems. The July 2026 test flagged a severely deteriorated nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover and issues with position lamp interference. These findings follow a history of similar minor component failures, suggesting that while the vehicle is fundamentally sound, it is subject to the typical wear and tear of an older car. The mileage profile indicates exceptionally low usage for a 2009 model, averaging approximately 4,425 miles per year. The data shows a consistent, slow climb from 29,992 miles in 2014 to the current 75,229 miles. This low annual mileage suggests the vehicle has likely been used for short trips or has spent significant periods stationary. Such usage patterns can sometimes lead to accelerated degradation of rubber components, such as tyres and suspension bushes, which is reflected in the recurring advisories regarding perished tyres and damaged dust covers seen between 2019 and 2021. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems. The record shows recurring issues with track rod end dust covers and axle swivel bushes, most recently noted in the July 2024 test at 73,597 miles. The braking system has also required attention, with the July 2025 test at 74,601 miles noting thin brake pads and worn discs. Given the low mileage and age, it is vital to inspect all rubber bushings, suspension linkages, and tyre sidewalls for signs of cracking or perishing that may not have been fully captured by the tester. The windscreen history also shows frequent stone chips and damage over several years, though these have not progressed to failures. While the mechanical history does not indicate any major structural or engine-related failures, the frequent advisories for consumables like tyres and brake components suggest the vehicle is maintained on a reactive basis rather than through proactive replacement. Checking the current condition of the anti-roll bar linkages and the integrity of the front suspension components is recommended to ensure the recent repairs are comprehensive.
