2009 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · WR58 RFL

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of deferred suspension and component repairs. The most recent test in January 2026 at 58,944 miles passed with minor advisories regarding a damaged offside rear tyre and slight play in the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage. While the car passes, the recurring nature of suspension-related faults across multiple years suggests that components are only addressed when they approach a failure threshold rather than through proactive preventative maintenance. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 58,944 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 3,467 miles per year. This low usage pattern is evident in the timeline, with only 4,041 miles driven between January 2025 and January 2026. However, low mileage often correlates with age-related degradation of rubber components, which is supported by the consistent reports of worn suspension arm bushes and linkage joints noted in the 2024 and 2025 tests. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the chassis and suspension geometry. The nearside front anti-roll bar linkage and front suspension arm bushes have been flagged for wear since at least January 2024, and their continued presence in the 2026 record indicates the wear is progressing. Furthermore, the nearside sill has been noted as damaged since 2023; given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check is required to ensure this surface corrosion has not progressed into structural rot that would compromise the integrity of the frame. The braking system also requires close attention. Records from the 2025 test identified a binding nearside rear brake and thin pads, while the 2023 test noted pitted and scored discs. Despite the low annual mileage, these issues likely stem from corrosion and seizing during long periods of inactivity. The buyer should verify that the parking brake operates within specification and that the rear calipers are free from binding, as the history shows a pattern of inconsistent brake performance.
