2007 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · BF07 UVC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding structural and corrosion-related components. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 33,669 miles passed, it followed a failure due to a structural tyre tear. The tester also identified corroded rear coil springs and a corroded sub-frame. Although the sub-frame was not deemed seriously weakened at the time, the persistent corrosion across all suspension components and brake pipes indicates ongoing environmental degradation despite the low mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,772 miles per year. The car progressed from 28,072 miles in February 2021 to 33,669 miles by February 2026. This low usage explains the minimal wear on mechanical components, but it correlates directly with the recurring issues seen in the record. The frequent reports of perished rubber components and corroded pipes suggest the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods, allowing moisture to accelerate oxidation where parts are regularly driven. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the sub-frame and rear axle to determine if the corrosion has progressed beyond the levels noted in the 2026 test. The recurring failure of corroded brake pipes across all four corners since 2023 suggests these lines are nearing the end of their life and require replacement to prevent sudden failure. Additionally, the nearside front service brake has shown binding tendencies in 2024 and 2026, indicating a sticking caliper or slider that needs professional attention. Given the history of perished tyres, the current set should be checked for deep sidewall cracking regardless of the remaining tread depth.
