2013 Honda Jazz 1.2L Petrol · SL13 LXC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive service pattern rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 101,178 miles was a pass, it followed a significant failure just one day prior. This failure highlighted multiple critical issues including poor brake efficiency, axle imbalance, and a structurally failed tyre. The trend suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when forced to by an MOT failure, rather than replacing components during scheduled service intervals. At 13 years old with 101,178 miles, the car averages approximately 7,800 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage for an older hatchback. The data shows a steady interval of use with roughly 6,500 miles covered between April 2023 and March 2024, and another 5,000 miles between March 2024 and September 2025. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary excessively, which explains the persistent corrosion issues noted throughout the records. A buyer must scrutinise the rear braking system and suspension components. The record shows recurring issues with pitting, scoring, and thinning of the rear brake discs and pads dating back to 2023. More concerning, the persistent corrosion on the brake hose ferrules has appeared in three consecutive tests, indicating that these lines are nearing their end and have not been replaced. Although the tester repeatedly noted that the suspension components are corroded but not yet weakened, a physical inspection of the arms, bushes, and mounting points is essential to ensure the rust has not progressed into a structural failure.
