2006 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · PY06 LFS

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding neglected braking components and exhaust degradation. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 88,942 miles was a pass, it flagged thinning rear brake pads and corrosion on both rear brake pipes. This follows a recurring issue with rear brake pipe corrosion dating back to 2022, indicating that the previous owners have only addressed these faults upon inspection rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 20 years old, the recorded mileage of 88,942 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,447 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent, with annual intervals of roughly 7,000 to 8,000 miles recorded between December tests. However, low annual mileage often correlates with age-related degradation of rubber and metal due to long periods of standing, which is evidenced by the persistent corrosion on the brake lines and the deteriorating exhaust system noted in 2023. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and underbody. The persistent mention of corroded rear brake pipes, noted in four consecutive tests, suggests the lines are nearing the end of their functional life and may require replacement to prevent sudden failure. You should also inspect the front brake discs which were flagged as pitted in 2024 and verify the suspension components, specifically the anti-roll bar linkage and Macpherson strut which showed signs of wear in previous years. The minor exhaust leak first reported in 2023 needs to be checked to ensure the deterioration has not progressed into a structural perforation.
