2010 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · SD60 RLV

The 2026‑01‑16 MOT at 74,771 miles resulted in a pass, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy despite a series of advisory items. The recent pass follows a December 2025 failure where exhaust lambda, a major exhaust leak and brake disc wear were recorded; the fact that the January test cleared the lambda reading and the exhaust leak, while retaining the same brake disc condition and suspension arm corrosion, indicates a stable maintenance trend rather than a worsening condition. Mileage has risen from 39,879 miles in 2016 to 74,771 miles in 2026, an increase of roughly 35,000 miles over ten years, or about 3,500 miles per year. The most pronounced jumps occurred between 2016 and 2018 (approximately 6,000 miles annually) and a slower accumulation of just over 2,000 miles in the two years preceding the latest test, suggesting periods of reduced use or the vehicle being stored. Recurring advisories centre on structural corrosion of the front and rear sub‑frames, suspension arms and chassis within 30 cm of mounting points, and persistent rear brake disc wear described as pitted or scored but not seriously weakened. The exhaust system shows a history of leaks and lambda failures, which were rectified in the 2026 test, while the shock absorbers exhibited light oil misting in 2016 and 2017, indicating potential seal wear that should be verified. A buyer should therefore examine the condition of the suspension arms and sub‑frames for genuine rust penetration, test the rear brake discs for thickness and scoring, inspect the exhaust for any remaining leaks or corrosion, verify the integrity of the shock absorber seals, and assess tyre tread and sidewall condition, as the record shows repeated wear on the near‑side rear tyre and edge wear on the front tyres.
