2005 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · RA54 WHK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing. The most recent inspection conducted on 10 July 2025 at 66,781 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, indicating the car currently meets minimum legal standards. While a failure occurred in March 2024, the immediate rectification and subsequent clean passes suggest the owner is proactive in addressing identified faults rather than allowing them to escalate into mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 21-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,180 miles per year. Between December 2021 and July 2025, the car covered only 9,131 miles, suggesting infrequent use or long periods of storage. This low usage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the risk of age-related issues. The long gap between some tests combined with the low mileage often correlates with the degradation of rubber components, seals, and fluids, which can perish over time regardless of the distance driven. Given the clean nature of the recent MOT records, a physical inspection should focus on structural integrity and age-related wear. Honda vehicles of this era are prone to corrosion in the sills, rear wheel arches, and floor pans, so the buyer must check for bubbling paint or structural rust. Because the car has sat frequently, the buyer should also inspect for cracked or perished suspension bushes, split tyres, and seized brake calipers. The discs should be checked for pitting or corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from surface oxidation on the braking system when not used regularly.
