2007 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · WF57 KHB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its most recent test in February 2026 at 64,682 miles. The maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repair rather than proactive replacement of minor components. While the car failed in November 2023 due to an exhaust leak and a worn anti-roll bar linkage, these issues were addressed to secure a subsequent pass. The mechanical condition appears stable, provided the owner addresses specific failures once they are flagged by the DVSA tester. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nineteen-year-old Honda, averaging only approximately 3,400 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between December 2022 and November 2023, where the vehicle covered only 1,468 miles in eleven months. This low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components. The February 2026 record confirms this with noted perishing tyres, a common symptom of vehicles that sit stationary for extended periods. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the tyres, as the latest test flagged both the nearside and offside rear tyres for cracking and perishing. The windscreen has remained a recurring advisory since at least 2023, suggesting the owner has not yet replaced the glass despite repeated warnings. Given the history of the anti-roll bar linkage showing play in 2022 and failing later in 2023, the remaining suspension hardware should be checked for play or perished bushings. At this age, low mileage also necessitates a close look for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, as low use does not protect against rust over time.
