2006 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · RJ55 MTY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent testing data. The latest MOT conducted on 19 June 2025 at 69,364 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, despite an initial failure on the same day. This immediate rectification suggests a specific issue was addressed and resolved prior to the re-test, as the vehicle has maintained a clean sheet of results across the previous three annual inspections. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twenty-year-old Honda, averaging approximately 3,468 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between July 2022 at 61,332 miles and June 2024 at 61,605 miles, where the car covered only 273 miles over two years. The subsequent increase of 7,759 miles in the following year indicates a return to regular use. While low mileage reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long periods of standing often lead to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and fluid breakdown. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage neglect. Given the long intervals between use, the tester should have checked for seized brake calipers, corroded brake lines, and perished suspension bushes. Inspect the structural integrity of the chassis, particularly the sills and arches, as these are prone to corrosion regardless of the miles driven. Verify the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking, as age impacts rubber faster than tread wear on low-used vehicles.
