2002 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · WR02 LBG

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with eight tests recorded since 2017 and only one minor advisory noted across that period. This stability is evidenced by the most recent clean pass on 30 March 2026, following several consecutive years without any recorded defects or failures. The recorded mileage of 131,699 miles is low for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 5,487 miles per year over its 24-year lifespan. Such a usage profile suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to the heavy wear typically associated with high-mileage commuting. However, there is a notable gap in the testing history between June 2020 and March 2024, which may indicate a period where the vehicle was not in active use. Attention should be directed toward the front suspension, specifically the nearside front upper Macpherson strut pin or bush which was flagged as worn in April 2023. While this did not result in excessive movement at the time and was not recorded in the three subsequent tests, components of this age are susceptible to gradual degradation. During a test drive, listen for knocking or clunking sounds when traversing uneven road surfaces or during low-speed manoeuvres, as these are common symptoms of worn strut mounts or bushings. A physical inspection should verify the current state of all rubber suspension bushings and the structural integrity of the front Macpherson assemblies. Check for any play in the steering and ensure there is no unusual vibration felt through the chassis. Confirming whether the 2023 advisory was rectified or if the wear has remained stable will be essential for assessing the current state of the front end.
