2005 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · WP55 AHD

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 29 May 2025 at 77,704 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car consistently meets passing standards following initial test failures. While the record shows failures in early 2024 and 2025, the lack of recorded defects on the passing certificates suggests that any issues identified were rectified promptly rather than representing a developing mechanical decline. The mileage profile is notably low for a 21-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,700 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap in usage between January 2023 at 63,355 miles and March 2024 at 70,624 miles, where only 7,269 miles were covered over fourteen months. The vehicle then covered another 7,080 miles in the year leading up to the latest test. This low-frequency use often indicates light commuting but increases the risk of rubber degradation and brake oxidation due to long periods of static storage. A buyer should inspect the chassis for signs of structural corrosion, particularly along the sills and rear suspension mounting, as low-mileage cars often hide surface rust that accelerates over time. Given the intermittent use pattern, the brakes should be checked for seized calipers or pitted discs, which are common when vehicles sit idle. Checking the condition of the suspension bushes and tyres is also vital, as these components age and crack regardless of the low annual mileage recorded.
