2007 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · EK57 AAN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a trend of developing structural and mechanical wear. While it passed its latest test on 31 October 2025 at 146,042 miles, it had failed that same day due to non-functional stop lamps, handbrake adjustment requirements, and worn front suspension arm bushes. The presence of these faults suggests that the owner is addressing only the minimum repairs necessary to pass testing rather than performing preventative maintenance on age-related components. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year over its 19-year life. Between October 2024 at 124,685 miles and October 2025 at 146,042 miles, the car covered over 21,000 miles in a single year. This recent spike in usage likely explains the accelerated degradation of rubber components like the suspension bushes and the handbrake system noted in the most recent inspection. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the rear sub-frame, which was flagged for corrosion in October 2025. Although not classified as seriously weakened at that time, corrosion on Honda sub-frames often progresses rapidly and compromises structural integrity if left untreated. The buyer should also verify the front lower suspension arms for further excessive play and test the handbrake effectiveness to ensure the recent adjustment was thorough and not a temporary fix for a failing cable or mechanism. The recurring advisory regarding clouded headlamps since 2022 indicates long-term exposure to the elements, which may eventually impact night-time visibility. Given the high mileage and the specific nature of the recorded faults, the vehicle should be checked for oil leaks and signs of rust around the chassis points before any purchase is finalised.
