2011 Honda Jazz 1.2L Petrol · YC11 SXM

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward deferred attention regarding consumable wear items. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 48,936 miles passed, the tester flagged thin rear brake pads and perishing on both rear tyres. This follows a pattern of minor defects noted in previous years, suggesting that the owner is addressing faults only as they approach inspection limits rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 15-year-old Honda, averaging approximately 3,260 miles per year. There is a significant spike in usage between April 2025 and April 2026, where the car covered over 10,000 miles in a single year. This low annual mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it correlates with the degradation of rubber-based components, which is evidenced by the cracking and perishing tyres noted in the 2026 record. A buyer must physically inspect the rear tyres for dry rot, as the recurring advisories from 2024 and 2026 indicate the rubber compound is failing due age. The offside track rod end noted in 2022 suggests that suspension boots may be beginning to perish, which should be checked for further tearing. Given the thin brake pads identified in the latest test, the rear discs should be examined for surface pitting or corrosion, which is common on low-mileage vehicles that sit for extended periods.
