2005 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · LS05 UWT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in December 2025 at 140,377 miles followed an immediate failure just two miles prior due to a dangerous nearside front tyre with exposed cords and multiple lighting faults. While the car passed after these corrections, the presence of advisories for worn suspension bushes and pitted brake discs indicates that the vehicle is beginning to show age-related wear across its mechanical components. At 140,377 miles over 21 years, the Honda Jazz averages approximately 6,700 miles per year, which is consistent with low-intensity urban driving. The mileage data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 23,000 miles driven between December 2023 and December 2024, and another 37,000 miles in the year leading up to the December 2025 test. This steady accumulation suggests the car has not sat for long periods, but the high mileage puts significant stress on rubber components and the braking system regardless of the relatively low annual distance. A buyer must physically inspect the nearside front lower suspension arm, as the tester flagged a worn bush that has not yet reached the failure threshold. The rear brake discs are noted as pitted and scored on both sides, suggesting they are nearing the thickness limit and require replacement to ensure effective stopping. Additionally, the headlamp lenses should be checked for significant clouding, as the record shows persistent product on the lenses across three consecutive years, which eventually leads to reduced light output if not polished or replaced.
