2018 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · YC18 HEP

The vehicle holds a valid MOT certificate following a pass on 28 July 2025 at 18,717 miles. The maintenance record shows a generally stable mechanical history with no dangerous or major defects logged over the last five years. The trend regarding the front tyres is worsening, as the tester flagged slightly damaged outer sidewalls on both front tyres in the most recent inspection. This represents a progression from the cuts noted on the same tyres during the August 2024 test, suggesting the owner ignored prior warnings or the damage has deteriorated due to age. The recorded mileage is exceptionally low for an eight-year vehicle, averaging approximately 2,300 miles annually. A significant discrepancy exists in the log, with the odometer reading 17,005 miles in August 2021 before dropping to 14,317 miles in August 2022. This reduction of nearly 2,700 miles is irregular and requires verification against service stamps to confirm the true usage. Since 2022, the mileage has increased consistently, rising from 14,317 miles to 18,717 miles by July 2025. Such low usage often leads to perishing rubber components and fluid degradation rather than mechanical wear. The primary focus for a physical inspection must be the front tyres and steering geometry. The repeated advisories for sidewall damage and cuts suggest the previous owner may have kerbed the vehicle or the tracking is out of alignment, causing uneven scrubbing. A prospective buyer should check the date codes on the tyre sidewalls to ensure they are not over six years old. The irregular mileage history warrants a thorough check of the instrument cluster and service book to validate the vehicle's history and ensure no clocking has occurred.
