2005 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · EO05 NWM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive ownership pattern. While the most recent test in September 2024 at 134,140 miles was a pass, it occurred just days after a significant failure. That failure highlighted critical issues including a major front exhaust leak, an inoperative engine management indicator light, and multiple tyre defects. Although these faults appear to be addressed to secure the subsequent pass, the recurring nature of mechanical and emissions failures suggests the vehicle is only repaired when necessary to pass the annual inspection. At 21 years old, the recorded mileage of 134,140 miles represents an average of approximately 6,400 miles per year, which is consistent with low-intensity urban use. The data shows a steady progression of mileage, with roughly 14,000 miles covered between the 2022 and 2023 tests, and another 12,300 miles recorded between 2023 and 2024. This consistent usage suggests the car has not sat for extended periods, though the age-related degradation of components remains high. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and exhaust assembly. The record shows a corroded nearside rear brake pipe in both 2022 and 2023, indicating a persistent issue with corrosion that may not have been fully rectified. The major exhaust leak noted in 2024 and the previous emissions failure in 2022 suggest that the catalytic converter or manifold system require close monitoring. Additionally, the repeated mentions of headlamp lenses and windscreen damage across multiple years indicate that cosmetic and secondary maintenance is frequently neglected until it becomes a failure point.
