2005 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · LR55 AEN

The vehicle is currently in a stable roadworthy condition based on the most recent MOT pass on 16 September 2024 at 79,091 miles. The record shows a clean history with no defects or advisories noted across several years of testing. A failure on 13 September 2024 was resolved within three days, though the lack of recorded defects for that failure suggests a minor administrative or clerical issue rather than a mechanical fault. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 21-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,766 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between September 2023 and September 2024, where the odometer rose from 70,564 to 79,091 miles. This represents a jump of 8,527 miles in one year, significantly higher than the previous intervals, such as the 10,179 miles covered over nearly three years between December 2020 and March 2022. Low-mileage vehicles of this age often suffer from deterioration caused by inactivity rather than wear. A buyer should specifically inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and check for binding calipers, as these components can seize when a car stands for long periods. Rubber components, including suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, should be examined for perishing or cracking regardless of the remaining tread depth. The absence of any recorded advisories over the last five years is unusual for a car from 2005 and suggests a well-maintained example or a very light duty cycle. However, the lack of data on structural corrosion in the MOT history means a physical inspection of the sills and chassis is necessary to ensure the vehicle has not been stored in a damp environment.
