2004 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · PX04 LKA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 129,609 miles passed with only a minor cosmetic defect to a light lens, the previous year showed a period of neglect. The trend shifted from a clean pass in 2023 to a multi-point failure in 2024, suggesting that components are only addressed once they reached the point of legal failure. At 22 years old, the recorded mileage of 129,609 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,900 miles. This low-use pattern is consistent across the 13,000-mile gap between July 2023 and July 2024, and the subsequent 11,000 miles covered since. However, low-mileage vehicles of this age often suffer from rubber component degradation and corrosion due to inactivity, which aligns with the worn suspension bushes and corroded coil springs noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the suspension geometry and braking system. The 2024 failure highlighted worn front suspension arm bushes and rear bushes, which can compromise steering precision and cause uneven tyre wear. The tester also flagged corroded rear coil springs on both sides; while these were likely replaced, the chassis should be checked for further structural rust. Given that the rear brake pads were at the legal limit in 2024, the current state of the discs and pads must be verified to ensure they are not nearing another failure.
