2004 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · BP04 CYS

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 153,136 miles passed, it carried a persistent advisory for pitted and scored rear brake discs on both sides. This specific issue appeared in both the 2025 and 2026 records, suggesting the owner is tolerating surface corrosion and wear on the braking components rather than replacing them until they reach a safety-critical failure threshold. At 22 years old, the recorded mileage of 153,136 represents an average annual usage of approximately 7,000 miles, which is consistent with low-mileage city driving. The data shows a steady rate of use between February 2024 and March 2026, where the car covered roughly 4,500 miles over two years. However, the failure in late February 2025 at 150,872 miles reveals a period where multiple items, such as defective headlamps and broken lenses, were neglected until the inspection. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking and suspension systems. The 2024 failure highlighted a binding front service brake and excessive corrosion on the offside rear brake pipe, which necessitates checking for caliper seizures and structural integrity of the hydraulic lines. Furthermore, the worn anti-roll bar linkage noted in early 2025 indicates that the suspension rubber components are likely reaching the end of their service life. Given the age of the vehicle and the recurring notes on brake disc corrosion, a close inspection of the rear wheel arches and mounting points is essential to ensure structural rust has not compromised the chassis.
