2018 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · RO51 EFA

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in September 2025 at 35,840 miles passed despite new advisories for perishing front tyres and uneven wear on the edges. This follows a September 2024 test where the front brake pads were flagged as thin, indicating that components are now being addressed only as they approach critical wear thresholds. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. Between September 2022 at 15,819 miles and September 2023 at 21,514 miles, the car covered only 5,695 miles. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension, it often leads to the degradation of rubber components. The 2023 failure due to heavy cracking and perishing confirms that the tyres are suffering from age-related decay rather than tread loss. A buyer must physically inspect the condition of all tyres, as the record shows a recurring issue with perishing and structural damage across multiple axles. The uneven wear noted on the front tyres in 2025 suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that require immediate attention. Additionally, the brake system should be checked for corrosion or seized calipers, as low-use vehicles frequently suffer from disc oxidation during long standing periods. Given the 2023 failure regarding the windscreen wiper, ensure the wiper assembly and blades are fully functional to maintain adequate visibility.
