2009 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · SL09 WVX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass in November 2025 at 135,348 miles, but the immediate service history reveals a period of significant mechanical neglect. A major failure just eleven days prior to that pass at 134,913 miles highlighted a critical list of safety defects, including a worn nearside front track rod end, a binding rear service brake, and a major exhaust leak. While the car successfully cleared the subsequent test, the density of serious failures in a short window suggests a reactive approach to maintenance rather than proactive preventative care. At approximately 17 years old, the recorded 135,348 miles represent an annual average of roughly 8,000 miles, which is consistent with typical light usage. However, the data shows a sharp increase in usage between June 2024 (121,261 miles) and November 2025 (134,913 miles), where the vehicle covered over 13,000 miles in just seventeen months. This accelerated mileage correlates with the appearance of multiple wear-related faults, such as pitted brake discs and worn suspension components noted in the 2024 and 2025 records. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension and braking system, as the history shows recurring issues with worn track rod ends, anti-roll bar linkages, and suspension arm bushes. The previous report of a binding rear brake caliper requires a physical check to ensure the cylinder is not permanently seized or suffering from excessive heat. Additionally, the 2025 failure regarding high exhaust lambda readings and a major leak indicates that the exhaust system and catalytic converter may be nearing the end of their functional life. The SRS warning lamp fault also needs to be verified to ensure the airbag system is fully operational.
