2004 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · KL04 MLJ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection on 29 April 2025 at 99,292 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but reveals a history of reactive repairs rather than proactive care. While the car passed its annual tests in 2024 and 2025, the repeated failures immediately preceding these passes indicate that the previous owner only sought to rectify defects necessary to meet legal standards rather than maintaining the vehicle on a schedule. The mileage profile is notably low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. The data shows a significant period of activity between March 2024 and April 2025, where the car covered nearly 2,000 miles in just thirteen months, followed by longer periods of relative inactivity. This low annual usage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it often leads to issues related to age, such as perished rubber seals, seized brake calipers, and corrosion from the vehicle sitting for extended periods. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and structural integrity points, as the MOT record does not specify the reasons for the three failures in 2024 and 2025. Given the age of the Honda Jazz, focus on structural rust in the sills, rear wheel arches, and mounting points. Inspect the suspension bushes for signs of cracking and check the brake discs for pitting, as low-mileage vehicles frequently suffer from surface corrosion and seized components due to infrequent use.
