I bought my 2015 jazz (from a honda dealer in 2026) to find it has no spare, and afterwards that the expiry date on the latex tyre inflation bottle was 2018. I will get it changed. The latex settles and solidifies with age ( like paint does) and is no use. Has anyone else found that service/ MOT overlooks this safety concern?

buy fullsize wheel and tyre , i did on Ebay less than £130, not brand new but good for peace of mind !

No Mk3's came with a spare wheel as standard. Checking the expiry date of the sealant is a standard service item and should be reported to the owner; AFAIK it's not an MOT issue. If yours has been expired for 8 years that calls into question how rigorously the services have been conducted. Replacement sealant bottles are available online at reasonable prices.

I dont know the Mk3. You describe the sealant as Latex. Is it the type of tyre inflation/ sealant aerosol such as 'Holts tyre weld' that has been available for years? Although better than nothing these are limited in their ability to seal punctures.
The Mk 4 comes with a tyre sealant canister that is a much more 'gloopy' and able to temporarily seal some more severe punctures , but still NOT side wall damage that can easily occur if you hit a nasty pothole. The other disadvantage of gloopy tyre sealant is many, if not most, tyre fitters will refuse to to do a puncture repair if its been used. It takes too long to fully remove, and can obscure the site of the puncture.(s) (The last tyre I took in for a puncture repair they found a total of 6 nail penetrations. :o ) But the simple latex aerosol sealant is much easier to wash off for a puncture repair.
If you have a tyre well, I too would recommend carrying a full sized spare. Even if you have to call out the AA etc to fit it for you.

Does anybody know the code of the spare sealant bottle?

I hadn't realised it was that expensive. This is my Honda Dealer price (and I assume part code) from when mine was replaced just over a year ago. I suppose you can add VAT to that too.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20261010/187db949272bc1d5c8ca9868be71fc7d.jpg)

I have a space saver in the car and a spare wheel kept in the garage.
I also carry a can of Holts Tyreweld , washes out with water and " no damage to the tyre guaranteed "
