2008 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · WN58 GZR

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, following a clean pass in its most recent test in June 2025 at 38,062 miles. This represents an improving maintenance trend compared to the previous two years, where several mechanical and structural defects were identified. The absence of any advisories or defects in the latest inspection suggests that the current owner has addressed previously flagged issues regarding the braking and suspension components. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an 18-year-old Honda, averaging approximately 2,115 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap in usage between August 2022 and August 2023, where the car covered only 820 miles in 12 months. While this low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long periods of standing often lead to secondary issues such as brake corrosion, perished rubber seals, and the degradation of fluid-based components like suspension bushes and tyres. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the front steering and braking assembly. The 2023 test at 36,936 miles flagged play in the nearside steering rack inner joints, and the 2024 test noted pitted and scored front brake discs on both sides. Although these passed the subsequent test, the buyer should verify that the steering remains precise and that the brake discs have not developed excessive surface rust from short journeys. Additionally, the nearside Macpherson strut flagged as modified in 2024 requires a visual check to ensure the modification is sound and has not compromised the structural integrity of the suspension geometry.
