2005 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · SW05 OPY

The 2021 MOT for this 2005 Honda Jazz was a pass with no defects recorded, but earlier entries reveal recurring corrosion and brake-related issues. The most recent MOT, dated 2021-10-21, shows no defects, suggesting potential improvements or repairs. However, prior MOTs from 2020 and 2019 highlight consistent corrosion on the front subframe, brake hoses, and brake discs, alongside tyre and valve stem failures. A clear pattern of corrosion emerges, particularly affecting the underbody and braking system. The 2020-01-29 MOT recorded severe corrosion on front and rear brake pipes, along with tyre tread below legal limits and damaged valve stems. Subsequent MOTs in 2020-11-04 and 2020-01-30 noted similar corrosion on brake hoses and pitted brake discs, though these were classified as non-serious. The 2019 MOT also flagged corroded brake pipes and thin brake pads. These issues suggest a persistent vulnerability to rust, likely exacerbated by low mileage and potential periods of inactivity. The vehicle’s mileage of 99,702 miles over 21 years equates to roughly 4,748 miles annually, which is low for its age. This could indicate infrequent use or long-term storage, both of which may contribute to corrosion and component degradation.
