2017 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · RO67 DXZ

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a developing issue with the braking system. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 21,596 miles noted minor binding on both the nearside and offside rear service brakes, this follows an advisory from September 2024 at 20,081 miles where only the offside rear brake was flagged. The persistence of this fault suggests the rear calipers or internal mechanisms are beginning to seize, which has not been addressed by the previous owner. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,400 miles per year. The record shows a steady but slow progression from 16,572 miles in 2022 to 21,596 miles in late 2025. This low usage often implies less wear on engine components and suspension bushings, but it increases the risk of rubber degradation and component corrosion due to inactivity. The failure in September 2023 due to a sidewall cut on the nearside front tyre was an isolated incident rather than a recurring mechanical failure. A buyer must inspect the rear brake assembly specifically to check for free movement and signs of excessive corrosion. Given the recurring binding advisories over two years, the calipers likely require cleaning or replacement to prevent uneven brake pad wear. Additionally, the low mileage necessitates a close inspection of the tyres for age cracking or sidewalling, as rubber degrades over time despite sufficient tread depth. The structural integrity appears clean based on the history, with no rust-related failures recorded to date.
