2009 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · RK09 CFM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive ownership strategy. The most recent test in December 2025 at 47,914 miles resulted in a pass with only a minor advisory regarding headlamp lens clarity. This follows an improvement from the February 2024 test where the car failed due to multiple mechanical and safety defects. While the immediate mechanical failures from last year Voting to be addressed, the history suggests components are serviced intermittently. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,818 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between April 2023 at 43,038 miles and February 2024 at 45,995 miles, where the car covered under three thousand miles in ten months. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, long periods of standing can lead to degradation of rubber components, such as seals and suspension bushes, which is reflected in the recorded faults. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and front-end suspension. The failure in February 2024 highlighted thin offside front brake pads and nearside front pads, followed by an advisory for thin nearside rear pads in January 2025. This progression suggests the brakes are reaching the end of their life. Additionally, the nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover failure in 2024 indicates potential ingress of grit into joints, which should be checked for play or lateral movement to prevent future failure of the suspension assembly.
