2007 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · RJ57 AEM

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026‑07‑20 recorded a PASS with three advisories: slight play in the nearside rear wheel bearing, nearside rear tyre worn to 3 mm at the edge, and a severely deteriorated offside front anti‑roll bar linkage dust cover. The maintenance trend shows recurring mechanical issues rather than improvement; the rear wheel bearing has been flagged since 2025, tyre wear has progressed, and suspension linkage deterioration persists. Mileage accumulation is steady at roughly 6 500 mi per year, matching the 19‑year age of the 2007 Jazz. Tests have been taken annually, with mileage jumps of 4 800–7 200 mi between successive MOTs, indicating regular use and consistent service intervals. No significant gaps in the record are evident. A buyer should inspect the rear wheel bearing for excess play or noise, check the nearside rear tyre tread depth against the legal limit, and examine the offside front anti‑roll bar linkage dust cover for deterioration. Brake condition warrants close attention: the front discs show pitting, pads were thin in 2014, and the parking brake efficiency failed in 2025. Verify headlamp aim, stop lamp operation, and the secondary parking brake effort. Suspension bushes and any signs of corrosion should also be examined given the age and mileage.
