2007 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · AV57 XGL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding mechanical and structural condition. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 87,202 miles passed, the number and severity of advisories have increased significantly. The tester flagged a strong advisory for binding on both rear wheels alongside thin brake pads and scored discs, marking a progression from the minor binding noted in previous years. This suggests that the braking system is entering a state of neglect that requires immediate attention to prevent future failure. The mileage profile is notably low for a nineteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. However, there is a significant data discrepancy in the records, as an entry from November 2024 lists 100,058 miles, while the November 2025 test records only 87,202 miles. This reverse progression in mileage suggests either a clerical error by the tester or odometer tampering, which undermines the reliability of the data. The low annual usage correlates with the observed corrosion issues, as vehicles that sit stationary often suffer from accelerated oxidation on metal components. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and braking system. The offside rear outer sill has shown corrosion since at least 2024, and the structural integrity must be verified for deep rust beyond surface scale. The recurring corrosion of various brake pipes across three consecutive years is a serious safety concern that will likely fail if not replaced. Furthermore, the suspension shows a pattern of wear involving anti-roll bar links, track rod ends, and front suspension arm bushes. These components will likely require replacement to ensure the vehicle remains stable and predictable during driving.
