2006 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · YR06 YFO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. While the most recent MOT test in May 2026 at 137,477 miles passed, it flagged a minor light bulb failure and corroded rear coil springs. This follows a trend where significant mechanical and safety defects are only addressed after failing an inspection. The overall condition appears stable in terms of passing, but the record suggests the owner only performs the minimum work required to maintain a valid certificate. At 137,477 miles over twenty years, the Honda Jazz has averaged approximately 6,800 miles per year, which is consistent with typical low-mileage usage. The mileage data shows consistent use, with roughly 9,500 miles covered between March 2024 and April 2025 tests, and another 13,500 miles between April 2025 and May 2026. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle is used regularly, which is generally beneficial for preventing components from seizing during long periods of standing. A buyer must pay close attention to the structural integrity of the rear sub-frame, which was flagged for corrosion in April 2025. Although the tester noted structural rigidity was not significantly reduced at that time, corrosion on these load-bearing components often progresses if left untreated. The history also shows recurring issues with the suspension system, specifically worn anti-roll bar linkages, suspension arm bushes, and ball joints noted in both 2024 and 2025. These components should be inspected for play or perished rubberwork during a physical evaluation. The brake system also shows a history of neglecting basic consumables, evidenced by both front and rear brake pads falling below the 1.5mm legal limit in April 2025. Multiple failures for low tyre tread and missing wheel fixings further suggest that basic upkeep has frequently been overlooked. A prospective buyer should verify the current state of the brake pads, discs, and tyres to ensure that the previous lack of maintenance has been rectified with high-quality parts rather than temporary fixes.
