2003 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · SA03 CVS

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently non-compliant due to a persistent and worsening deterioration of the suspension and braking systems, with the most recent MOT test in June 2026 failing on 92,754 miles. The failure pattern indicates that the vehicle has experienced a worsening trend of mechanical stress, as the 2022 test was the only time the system passed successfully. This suggests that previous owners may have been neglectful regarding routine servicing, leading to the accumulation of wear on critical components such as bushings, ball joints, and brake discs. The mileage history reveals a rapid accumulation of consumption, particularly on the front and rear wheels, which correlates with the vehicle's age of 23 years. The test dates show a significant gap between the 2021 and 2020 records, where the vehicle was tested in February 2021 and February 2020, resulting in a total mileage of 79,263 miles. This gap suggests that the vehicle may have been driven for over a year without any regular maintenance, or the owner may have been reluctant to report mileage gaps, which can lead to premature wear on suspension parts and brake components. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and corrosion in the suspension and braking systems, as the MOT record confirms extensive damage to bushings, ball joints, and brake discs. The 2021 test flagged a significant cut in the rear tyre tread and a corrosion of the coil spring, while the 2022 test identified a severe corrosion of the front brake pipe and excessive wear on the front suspension arm. The 2020 test also noted a loose heatshield and a worn strut top, indicating that the vehicle has suffered from repeated failures in these areas. The buyer must verify whether the brake fluid is clear and whether the brake pads or discs are free of corrosion, as these are critical for preventing the worsening of the binding condition flagged in the 2020 test.
