2006 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · RJ06 YMA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass on 22 May 2026 at 86,764 miles. While the most recent result shows no defects, the long-term maintenance trend indicates a recurring struggle with structural corrosion and suspension component wear. The vehicle has transitioned from managing minor consumable issues in its earlier years to facing more significant structural concerns regarding the sills and wheel arches. The mileage pattern shows very low usage for a 20-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,338 miles per year. The data shows consistent, incremental increases in mileage, such as the 2,327-mile gap between the June 2024 and June 2025 tests, and the 1,067-mile increase between the June 2025 and May 2026 tests. This low annual mileage suggests the car has seen light use, though the pattern of corrosion suggests it may have been stored in an environment where moisture or road salt could affect the chassis. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the vehicle's structural integrity. The MOT history shows a persistent issue with corrosion that has escalated from rear arches in 2022 to both outer sills and rear wheel arches in the June 2025 test. Although the May 2026 test reported no defects, the previous year's findings regarding sill corrosion represent a serious structural risk that requires verification to ensure the metal has been adequately treated or repaired. Suspension and braking components also require close scrutiny. The record shows a chronic pattern of worn bushes on the front upper shock absorbers and Macpherson struts, appearing intermittently from 2019 through 2025. Additionally, the tester flagged recurring issues with corroded brake pipes, specifically the offside rear pipe in 2023 and 2024. You should inspect the underside of the vehicle for any signs of fresh oxidation or recent remedial work on these specific areas to ensure the vehicle remains reliable.
