2004 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · FN04 YPV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals an inconsistent pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While the car passed its April 2026 test at 60,557 miles, it failed just weeks prior due to front brake pads being at 1.1mm, well below the 1.5mm limit. This recent failure indicates that the owner waits for an MOT failure to address essential wear items rather than replacing them as needed or during scheduled service intervals. At 22 years old, the recorded mileage of 60,557 miles is exceptionally low, averaging only about 2,753 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual testing, with roughly 1,200 miles covered between June 2024 and June 2025, and another 1,358 miles leading into April 2026. This low usage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine but increases the risk of rubber component degradation and brake corrosion due to the vehicle standing for long periods. A buyer must scrutinise the braking and electrical systems specifically. The record shows a recurring trend of issues with the anti-lock braking system, starting with a fault lamp in 2024, followed by damaged components in 2024, and damaged wiring in 2025. The parking brake efficiency also barely met the threshold in 2025, suggesting the cables or mechanisms may be seizing or stretching. Given the nearside front tyre was noted for uneven wear in 2025, an inspection of the suspension geometry and ball joints is necessary to ensure the alignment is not causing premature tyre failure.
