2005 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · RY05 ONC

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass in January 2026 at 75,229 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of reactive repair rather than proactive prevention. A significant failure in late January 2026 highlighted immediate safety concerns, specifically a missing steering locking device and worn front suspension arm bushes, yet these issues were addressed promptly to secure a pass just three days later. This suggests the owner is willing to invest in necessary repairs once a fault is flagged by a tester. At 21 years old, the recorded mileage of 75,229 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 3,600 miles per year. This low usage pattern often implies the vehicle sits for long periods, which explains the specific mechanical issues noted in the record. Between February 2024 and February 2025, the car covered only 1,364 miles. While low mileage reduces engine wear, it frequently leads to the degradation of rubber components, as evidenced by the recurring advisories regarding perishing tyres and worn suspension bushes across the three years of testing. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and braking system. The front suspension arm bushes were flagged in both 2025 and 2026, necessitating a check for any remaining play or noise in the steering. The offside rear brake disc was noted as pitted and scored in 2025, which is a common symptom of low-use vehicles where brakes seize. Furthermore, the noted corrosion on the rear axle in early 2025 requires a thorough examination of the structural integrity of the underbody to ensure that rust has not progressed beyond surface-level despite the low mileage.
