2006 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · DA06 EPP

The vehicle shows a stable but reactive maintenance pattern, with the most recent test on 1 October 2025 at 80,670 miles indicating a pass following minor remedial work. While the car passed, the record shows a recurring tendency to neglect basic consumables and minor electrical components. The tester flagged a loose offside mirror and a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit, mirroring issues seen in previous years. The mileage profile suggests very light usage for a 20-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,034 miles per year. The recorded distance increased from 61,371 miles in September 2022 to 80,670 miles in October 2025. This low annual mileage can often lead to component degradation from inactivity, such as the pitted rear brake discs noted in the September 2022 test or the corrosion found on the offside rear brake pipe in October 2023. A prospective buyer should focus on the suspension and braking systems during a physical inspection. The October 2023 test highlighted a severely deteriorated nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover, and the 2025 test again noted uneven tyre wear. This suggests potential issues with wheel alignment or suspension bush integrity. The history of corroded brake pipes and pitted discs necessitates a thorough check of the entire braking circuit for structural rust or fluid leaks. Frequent failures regarding inoperative registration plate lamps in 2023, 2024, and 2025 indicate that minor electrical upkeep is often overlooked. While these are simple fixes, they reflect a pattern of addressing faults only when prompted by an MOT inspection rather than through proactive maintenance. Ensure all exterior lighting and mirror fixings are secure and functional before purchase.
