2005 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · BP05 RFX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding structural integrity. While it passed its most recent test in March 2026 at 139,365 miles, the report identified a significant increase in corrosion-related defects. This represents a clear decline from the clean record seen in May 2023. The presence of corrosion on the central rear structure, rear sub-frame, and suspension components indicates that the vehicle is entering a stage where metal oxidation is becoming a primary concern. At 21 years old age, the recorded mileage of 139,365 miles reflects an annual average of approximately 6,600 miles, which is consistent with low-impact urban use. The usage pattern appears steady, with roughly 9,000 miles covered between May 2024 and May 2025, and another 8,700 miles between May 2025 and March 2026. While the low mileage generally benefits mechanical components, it does not prevent the accelerated corrosion observed on the chassis. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the undercarriage to assess the depth of the rust on the sub-frame and rear suspension arms. The tester specifically flagged corroded rear fuel pipes, which is a high-priority item that requires immediate attention if not already replaced. Additionally, the parking brake efficiency failure in 2024 suggests the braking mechanism should be tested for performance to ensure it is not suffering from seized cables or insufficient adjustment. The dust covers on the track rod ends noted in 2025 should also be monitored for tearing to prevent premature joint failure.
