2012 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · RO12 XHU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 160,541 miles passed with only a minor advisory for a deteriorated rear registration plate, the previous year showed a period of neglect. The failure of the offside front anti-roll bar ball joint suggests that suspension components are being addressed only when they reach a point of mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,500 miles per year. The data shows steady accumulation, with 18,188 miles driven between October 2023 and October 2024, and another 16,823 miles between October 2024 and October 2025. This regular usage suggests the car is used daily for commuting or long journeys, which explains the consistent wear on consumables like brakes and suspension parts noted throughout the test history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear braking system and suspension geometry. The record flags low rear brake pads across the 2022, 2023, and 2024 tests, indicating a recurring trend of letting components wear down until they require replacement. The corrosion on the rear discs noted in 2024 further suggests the vehicle may sit for short periods or operate in harsh environments. Given the failure of the anti-roll bar ball joint, a thorough check of all rubber boots and ball joints is necessary to ensure no other deteriorating suspension components are nearing failure.
