2007 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · YR07 NNB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding structural integrity and corrosion. While it passed the most recent test in January 2026 at 63,390 miles, the record reveals a significant decline in condition compared to the clean results of 2024. The failure in early 2025 due to structural corrosion on the nearside rear indicates that a critical point was reached, and the subsequent pass shows repairs were made with underseal applied to the sills and suspension mounting areas. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,336 miles per year. Between January 2023 and January 2026, the car covered only 6,483 miles, suggesting infrequent use or long periods of storage. While this low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, it explains the advanced corrosion observed in the MOT records. The lack of movement often leads to seized components and rust, which is a common symptom of a vehicle that sits stationary rather than being driven regularly. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis, specifically focusing on the inner sills and rear sub-frame. The record repeatedly flags corrosion across the underbody, and the 2026 test notes a repair to the sill covered by underseal, which may mask the extent of the metal degradation. Attention should also paid to the front shock absorbers and suspension mounting points, as these have shown signs of corrosion and damage in multiple tests. Verification of the brake pipes and discs is also required to ensure the reported corrosion has not progressed into a safety failure.
