2018 Honda Jazz 1.5L Petrol · ST68 YBP

A consistent record of roadworthiness is evident across five MOT tests, with no failures recorded since 2021. While the overall trend is stable, there is a persistent pattern of tyre degradation, with the most recent pass on 2025-10-28 flagging a split and perishing in the tread area of the nearside rear tyre. The recorded mileage of 26,080 miles over approximately eight years represents a low annual average of roughly 3,260 miles. This usage profile suggests limited mechanical wear on the engine, gearbox, and suspension bushings, but the low accumulation rate often correlates with the age-related deterioration of rubber components rather than wear from distance. Attention must be paid to the condition of all four tyres, as the MOT history shows a recurring issue with cuts and perishing. Specifically, the nearside rear tyre has been flagged for cracking and perishing in both 2022 and 2025, indicating that the rubber is degrading over time. A physical inspection should focus on the sidewalls and tread areas for visible splits or weather-cracking. During a test drive, listen for any abnormal humming or rhythmic vibrations that could indicate tyre deformation or flat spotting resulting from periods of inactivity. Ensure the steering is centered and there is no unexpected pull to either side, which would confirm the structural integrity of the tyres and the alignment of the front end.
