2009 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · PJ09 YYU

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of developing structural and mechanical component wear. While the most recent test in June 2025 at 84,664 miles passed, the record shows multiple advisories regarding corrosion and brake condition. This represents a shift from the clean records seen in 2022 and 2023, suggesting that the vehicle is now entering a phase where age-related degradation of metal components is requiring more frequent attention despite the low annual mileage. At 17 years old, the recorded 84,664 miles are significantly below average, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. This low usage pattern often correlates with the lack of defects found between 2022 and 2023. However, the failure in June 2024 at 78,702 miles reveals a period of neglected maintenance, specifically regarding exposed tyre cords and a distorted wheel. Such patterns suggest the car may have sat stationary for extended periods, which can lead to dry rotting in rubber components and surface corrosion on metal surfaces. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the underside and front suspension geometry. The 2025 test flagged corrosion on the front suspension arms and MacPherson struts, which, while not yet a failure, indicates the underseal integrity is beginning to fail. The pitted and scored brake discs noted in the latest entry suggest that the braking system has suffered from lack of use or moisture-induced oxidation. Additionally, the distorted nearside rear wheel should be checked for vibrations or uneven tyre wear, as this was a noted failure point in 2024.
