2004 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · HV54 TPX

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile with a worsening trend in structural and mechanical degradation. While it passed its latest test in September 2025 at 124,469 miles, the record reveals a pattern of recurring faults that remain unaddressed. The transition from a failure in early September 2025 to a pass just two days later indicates that only immediate safety items like headlamp lenses and brake efficiency were rectified, while significant underlying corrosion and component wear persisted. This suggests a maintenance history of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. At 22 years old, the recorded mileage of 124,469 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year. However, the data shows significant gaps in usage, such as the 1,700-mile interval between February 2023 and March 2024, and the 2,250 miles covered between March 2024 and September 2025. This low-frequency usage suggests the car may have sat stationary for extended periods, which often leads to accelerated corrosion on steel components and seized brakes, as seen in the consistent reports of pitted discs and corroded brake pipes. A buyer must prioritize a thorough structural inspection of the chassis and rear sub-frame. The MOT history consistently flags corrosion on the rear sub-frame and rear floors near mounting points from 2023 through 2025. Because these issues have not improved over several years, the structural integrity of the aging Honda is likely at high risk. Furthermore, the front shock absorber bushes have been noted as worn in three consecutive years, indicating the suspension is nearing the end of its life. The recurring mention of corroded brake pipes and scored discs further confirms that the braking system is poorly maintained and likely requires a comprehensive overhaul to ensure reliable operation.
