2009 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · RK09 SYA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive preventative care. The most recent test in March 2026 at 104,408 miles identified rear brake discs that are scored and pitted. While these passed, they indicate the start of the end of the life for those components. The transition from a failure in 2024 to a pass suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they reach a legal failure threshold. At 104,408 miles over 17 years, the car averages approximately 6,142 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-use patterns for an older city car. The record shows consistent usage with roughly 13,000 to 16,000 miles driven between annual tests from 2023 to 2026. This steady mileage suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, though the age of the components makes them susceptible to environmental degradation as seen with the perishing tyres noted in 2024. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front steering assembly, as the 2024 test flagged a damaged track rod end dust cover. While this was rectified to pass, the buyer should check for play in the steering or any lateral movement. The recurring issue of headlamp clouding between 2024 and 2025 indicates the plastics are prone to oxidation; the buyer must ensure the lenses are clear enough to provide adequate visibility at night. Specific attention is also required for the braking system and underbody. The 2026 advisory on pitted rear discs means replacement will likely be necessary soon to maintain effective stopping performance. Given the 2023 note regarding undertrays concealing underbody components, a physical inspection is vital to check for hidden structural corrosion on the sills and floor pan, as these areas were not fully during the standard MOT inspection.
