2005 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · PJ05 FFD

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recurring issue with brake-related corrosion. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 72,613 miles passed, it identified a corroded offside rear brake pipe covered in grease. This follows a failure in April 2024 where the offside front to rear brake pipe was flagged. This suggests that while repairs are being made, the underlying condition of the metal brake lines is a persistent concern for this Honda. At 21 years old, the recorded mileage of 72,613 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 3,458 miles per year. The data shows significant gaps between tests, such as the 21,236 miles covered between March 2023 and November 2025. Such low usage often reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it frequently leads to accelerated degradation of rubber components and corrosion. The presence of play in the suspension leg mountings and pitted brake discs is consistent with a vehicle that sits stationary for long periods. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and brake lines to check for structural integrity beyond what the tester noted. The repeated mentions of corroded brake pipes indicate that the vehicle may be vulnerable to moisture-induced rust. Attention should be paid to the front suspension leg mountings and anti-roll bar linkages, which were previously flagged for wear and play in 2024. Given the age and low mileage, all rubber bushings and seals should be checked for cracking or perish rot, as these often fail due to age rather than distance.
