2005 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · YY05 AFN

The vehicle presents a broadly roadworthy profile based on the most recent DVSA test conducted on 20 March 2025 at 116,253 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. Maintenance trend across the available record reads as stable, with passes logged on 31 March 2022 at 78,928 miles, 18 March 2023 at 88,567 miles, and 28 March 2024 at 101,600 miles, all showing no defects. A curious anomaly appears on 28 March 2024 when a failure was also logged at identical mileage with no defects cited, suggesting either a data recording error or a non-mechanical administrative reject that the buyer must clarify with DVSA. Mileage accumulation sits low for a 21-year-old hatchback, averaging roughly 5,500 miles per year across its life to the current 116,253 miles. The supplied records show a gentle rise in annual use. The test on 31 March 2022 captured 78,928 miles, then 18 March 2023 shows 88,567 miles, a gain of 9,639 miles. By 28 March 2024 the odometer read 101,600 miles, adding 13,033 miles, and the 2025 test reached 116,253 miles, a further 14,653 miles. Earlier history before 2022 is absent from this extract, so long-term standing periods or unrecorded tests cannot be ruled out. The recent upward drift in yearly distance implies the car shifted from light storage to regular commuting. No advisories or defects concerning suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, corrosion or structural integrity appear in the dataset, which hints previous owners addressed consumables before each annual test. A clean sheet across five consecutive entries does not exempt a 2005 chassis from age-related degradation. The buyer should physically inspect subframe corrosion, wishbone bushes and exhaust emissions during a pre-purchase examination. The unexplained fail on 28 March 2024 demands a check of the DVSA refusal notice to confirm no hidden brake or lighting fault was suppressed. Given the low overall mileage and absent defect pattern, the Jazz likely received baseline care, yet the sparse pre-2022 trail leaves ownership habits partly unknown. A thorough ramp inspection of steering joints and tyre sidewall condition remains prudent before completion of sale.
