2006 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · FL55 WHZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recurring issue with brake-related components. The most recent test in March 2026 at 105,419 miles identified a binding nearside rear service brake. This is a persistence of a condition noted in April 2024 at 101,574 miles. While the car has passed its inspections, the repeated presence of binding calipers suggests an underlying mechanical fault or neglect that has not been fully rectified. At 20 years old, the recorded mileage of 105,419 miles represents a low annual usage rate of approximately 5,271 miles. The data shows consistent use over recent years, with roughly 2,100 miles driven between the April 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 1,745 miles between 2025 and 2026. This low-frequency mileage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components and corrosion, which aligns with the findings in the record. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the braking system and chassis. The April 2024 test flagged corroded front brake pipes covered in grease, a common tactic used to hide rust from inspectors. Given that the 2023 failure also highlighted excessive corrosion on the offside rear brake pipe and worn-out pads, the buyer should inspect the entire line network for structural integrity and check that the brake calipers are not seized. The recurring binding issue on the nearside rear indicates that the sliding pins or the cylinder piston likely require professional attention to prevent premature component wear or brake failure.
