2017 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · T4 RRL

The Honda Jazz presents as fundamentally sound and well-maintained through its MOT history, with a stable and largely improving roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 31 December 2025 at 33,821 miles passed with only a minor advisory for front brake pads wearing thin, a routine consumable item well within acceptable limits at that stage. No corrosion, structural defects, or serious mechanical failures appear on record across all five tests, indicating consistent care and no underlying deterioration. The mileage profile is notably low, averaging approximately 3,758 miles per year over nine years. The vehicle covered roughly 8,200 miles between January 2022 and December 2022, then slowed to about 8,200 miles over the following year, before jumping to 5,555 miles in 2024 and then 4,305 miles in the final 2025 test window. The gap between the January 2025 test at 29,516 miles and the December 2025 test at 33,821 miles shows a sharp 4,305-mile increase in under a year, suggesting a change in usage pattern after a period of very light running. Long periods of low annual mileage can mask wear but also risk issues such as deteriorated rubber components, stale fuel, or brake surface corrosion from standing. The December 2022 test flagged perishing on the offside front tyre and both rear tyres, a typical age-related advisory rather than a structural concern, and one that appears to have been resolved given no recurrence. The sole current advisory is front brake pad wear, which at 1.1.13 (a) (ii) indicates the pads were approaching but had not yet reached the minimum threshold. A buyer should verify the condition of the front brake discs for scoring or lipping and confirm whether the pads have been replaced since the December 2025 test. Given the low mileage and clean structural record, the main areas for physical inspection are the condition of all four tyres for age-related cracking, particularly if the rears have not been changed since 2022, and the underside for any corrosion or exhaust deterioration that can develop on vehicles standing for extended periods. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers also warrant a close check, as low-mileage cars can develop perished rubber and seized components from inactivity rather than wear.
