2007 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · EJ07 PRV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in November 2025 at 153,266 miles showed the car passing only after failing eight days prior. That failure involved a significant parking brake deficiency and a complete lack of effort at one rear service brake. While the car passed the subsequent test, the narrow margin on the parking brake suggests the system is only being addressed when it reaches the point of failure. At 153,266 miles, this 19-year-old Honda has averaged approximately 8,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical annual usage for its age. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with roughly 7,400 miles covered between November 2024 and November 2025, and another 900 miles in the year leading up to the previous test. This steady mileage suggests the vehicle is used regularly, though the high mileage places significant stress on rubber components and metalwork regardless of the low annual distance. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The 2023 failure for a corroded rear brake pipe, followed by the 2025 parking brake failure, indicates that the hydraulic lines and mechanisms are prone to degradation. The 2024 records of worn front suspension arm bushes and anti-roll bar pins suggest the rubber components are reaching the end of their lifespan. You should check for excessive play in the steering and listen for knocks when traversing over uneven surfaces. Furthermore, the November 2025 advisories note both front tyres are near the limit and worn on edges, which often points to an alignment issue or incorrect tyre pressures requiring immediate attention to prevent further further wear.
