2005 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · FV05 HVL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding structural integrity and component degradation. While the most recent test in July 2026 at 111,051 miles passed, it highlighted new issues including corroded rear wheel arches and a damaged offside front tyre. This follows a problematic period in 2024 where the car failed for structural corrosion near a mounting and an exhaust leak, indicating that the chassis is actively battling rust despite its age. The recorded mileage of 111,051 miles over 21 years is notably low for this Honda, averaging approximately 5,288 miles per year. However, the data shows a significant gap in records between August 2021 and June 2023, during which the vehicle covered only 14 miles in two years. This pattern of intermittent use often correlates with the recurring issues seen in the report, such as the perishing of tyres and the deterioration of rubber bushes and brake components which suffer when a vehicle sits stationary for long periods. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough underbody inspection focusing specifically on the rear chassis and fuel lines. The history shows a persistent issue with corroded brake pipes and fuel pipes dating back to 2017, with the feed pipe specifically noted in 2024. The nearside rear coil spring was flagged as corroded in 2024 and should be checked for structural fractures. Given the recurring reports of binding brakes and worn suspension arm bushes, the entire suspension geometry and braking system require a professional evaluation to ensure the wear has not progressed beyond simple repair.
