2013 HONDA JAZZ1.3L Petrol

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a critical shift towards worsening structural condition. While the car passed its most recent test on September 4, 2025 at 58,644 miles, the tester identified corrosion on both the nearside and offside rear inner sills. This marks a departure from the previous four years of clean records, indicating that the structural integrity of the chassis is now degrading in a manner that requires immediate attention. The mileage profile is notably low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. Between September 2018 and September 2024, the car showed consistent low-usage patterns, adding only 2,164 miles over six years. However, the gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests saw 4,083 miles. This low mileage often correlates with accelerated environmental corrosion on metal components as the vehicle is not used frequently enough to displace moisture from the chassis and brake assemblies. A buyer must perform a thorough underside inspection to assess the depth of the rust on the inner sills flagged in the 2025 test. Because the records from 2016 through 2021 repeatedly note that undertrays prevented a full inspection, there is a high risk of hidden corrosion elsewhere on the sills or suspension mounting points. The buyer should verify if the sill corrosion is merely surface level or if it has compromised the structural metal, which would eventually lead to a failure in future tests.
