2018 Honda Jazz 1.5L Petrol · SV18 ADM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a concerning shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test conducted in July 2025 at 16,377 miles resulted in a failure due to multiple safety-critical issues. While the car passed a re-test the same day, the presence of structural failures in the rear tyres, thin brake pads, and poor brake efficiency suggests that the owner only addresses defects when forced by an MOT failure rather than performing routine maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old Honda, averaging approximately 2,047 miles per year. Between August 2021 at 10,671 miles and July 2025 at 16,377 miles, the vehicle covered only 5,706 miles. This low usage explains the recurring degradation of rubber-based components. The consistent MOT advisories for cracking and perishing tyres seen from 2022 through 2024 indicate the vehicle likely sits stationary for long periods, leading to material rot and deformation despite the low tread depth. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and tyre condition. The July 2025 failure highlighted pitted brake discs and thin pads, which implies the rear assembly may suffer from corrosion or seizing due to lack of use. Furthermore, the history of structural separation in the rear tyres suggests that the current rubber may be age-oxidized rather than worn. Inspect all sidewalls for deep cracking and check the suspension bushings for signs of drying, as low-mileage vehicles often hide environmental degradation behind clean mileage.
