2010 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · SL60 KXJ

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently in the grey zone, with a clear deterioration trend evident in the most recent MOT test recorded on 2025-11-18 at 100,867 miles. While the previous test on 2024-11-19 at 97,730 miles passed, the failure on 2024-11-12 at 97,703 miles indicates a significant and worsening mechanical condition. The tester flagged binding rear brakes and a nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint with slight play, suggesting that the suspension system is not meeting the required tightness standards and that the brake components are likely failing. The mileage pattern is inconsistent with typical usage for a 2010 HONDA JAZZ. At approximately 6,304 miles per year, the vehicle has accumulated over 16 years of recorded mileage, which is unusually high for a car of this age and likely correlates with significant wear on consumables and structural components. The gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests, where the vehicle failed again after passing in 2025, suggests that the mechanical risks have not been adequately addressed by the owner, leading to a progressive decline in roadworthiness. Given the recurring faults in the suspension, brakes, and ball joints, a buyer should inspect the vehicle in person for binding brakes, loose ball joints, and structural integrity issues. The tester flagged nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint with slight play, which indicates that the suspension bushings may be worn and the springs may be losing their tension. Because the vehicle has failed twice on critical components, the structural integrity of the chassis and drivetrain is compromised, making it highly likely that the vehicle will fail a MOT if not serviced immediately.
