2009 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · SY09 OOB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the most recent test history indicates a lapse in compliance. The test on 9 December 2025 at 75,425 miles resulted in a failure with no recorded defects, which suggests an administrative failure or a non-presentation issue rather than a mechanical breakdown. Despite this recent setback, the car maintained a clean record across the previous three years, indicating that the core mechanical components have remained within acceptable DVSA standards during annual inspections. The mileage pattern shows exceptionally low usage for a 17-year-old Honda, with the total of 75,425 miles representing an average of approximately 4,400 miles per year. Between November 2022 at 61,358 miles and December 2024 at 71,092 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 10,000 miles in two years. While this low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it increases the risk of age-related degradation of rubber components, seals, and brake components which can perish or seize during long periods of standing or light use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components to account for the vehicle's age. Given the low mileage, check for surface corrosion on the sills and rear wheel arches, as these areas often suffer regardless of the miles driven. Examine the braking system for binding calipers or seized pistons, as low-frequency use frequently leads to uneven wear. Additionally, inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or fatigue, as these materials lose elasticity over two decades even if the mileage remains low.
