2004 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · YP54 ABU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a history of consistent passes over the last several years. The most recent inspection conducted in February 2025 at 141,857 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets all safety and emissions standards. This follows a period of clean passes after a single failure in late 2022, suggesting that the current ownership is proactive in addressing mechanical issues identified by the tester. The mileage accumulation remains consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 6,450 miles per year. Data shows a significant period of low usage between December 2022 and December 2023, where the car covered only 165 miles in a full year. However, usage increased sharply with 6,547 miles recorded between the December 2023 and February 2025 tests. This pattern suggests the vehicle may have sat for extended periods previously, which can lead to aging of rubber components or brake corrosion, though the recent MOT results show no immediate failures. While the digital record is currently clean, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of structural integrity on this 22-year-old chassis. Given the age of the Jazz, focus on checking for corrosion in the sills, wheel arches, and rear mounting points where rust is common on this generation. Inspect the suspension bushes for cracking and check the shock absorbers for leaks, as low mileage often masks the material degradation caused by time. Verify the brake discs for pitting or uneven wear to ensure the periods of stationary use have not caused surface damage to the braking system.
