2010 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · WU60 GCY

The 2010 Honda Jazz has maintained a clean MOT history with no major failings in the most recent test conducted just ten months ago on 31 July 2025. The vehicle passed with only minor non-critical advisories—front headlamp lens opacity and a slightly worn front brake disc—indicating stable roadworthiness. There is no evidence of recurring or worsening mechanical issues, though the front brake discs have been flagged twice in the last two tests, suggesting they may require closer monitoring. The absence of advisories on suspension, steering, or structural components in prior tests is reassuring, though the 2024 test noted an undercover was fitted, a detail worth verifying for proper installation and condition. The recorded mileage of 74,074 miles over 16 years suggests very light usage, averaging just 4,630 miles annually. This could imply the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary, which may accelerate wear on fluids, seals, and rubber components. Notably, there is a gap of six months between the 2023 March and September tests, with mileage advancing only 1,317 miles—a pattern that repeats between other tests. While this low mileage reduces concerns about high-wear items like tyres or brakes, it also raises questions about whether essential services (e.g., fluid changes, suspension checks) were performed regularly during periods of inactivity. A prospective buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the front brake system, particularly the discs and calipers, given their repeated advisory status. The front headlamp lens should be checked for cracks or further degradation, though the current advisory suggests it remains functional. Given the vehicle’s age and low mileage, the suspension bushes, coil springs, and steering rack should be examined for dryness or corrosion, as these components degrade more from age than mileage. Tyre tread depth and lateral wear patterns are critical—though not flagged in MOTs—given the irregular usage pattern. Finally, verify the undercover installation from 2024, as improper fitting can lead to water ingress and electrical issues.
