2014 Honda Jazz 1.2L Petrol · RV14 PPF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs regarding wear components. In the most recent test in September 2025 at 82,651 miles, the car passed despite advisories for front tyres being worn close to the legal limit with uneven edge wear. This follows a period in late 2024 where the vehicle failed due to binding brakes and suspension corrosion, which were addressed to secure the subsequent pass. The mileage profile is consistent with a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,888 miles per year. Between September 2023 at 72,703 miles and September 2025 at 82,651 miles, the car covered 9,948 miles, indicating a steady and typical usage pattern. This lower annual mileage generally reduces the overall mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine, but it can lead to age-related degradation of rubber components and surface corrosion as seen in the recorded history. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension, specifically checking the lower control arms which were flagged for corrosion in 2024. While these were not considered seriously weakened at that time, ongoing rust must be monitored to ensure structural integrity does not degrade. Additionally, the rear service brakes should be tested for continued binding or sticking, as this was the primary failure point during the 2024 inspection. The front tyres require immediate attention as the uneven edge wear noted in the 2025 test suggests an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. Inspecting the underside for further signs of corrosion is advisable given the plastic covers were fitted in 2023, which can sometimes mask surface rust on the chassis or components. Beyond these specific areas, the history presents a stable profile for a car of this age and mileage.
