Ideal takeaway delivery car, these and MK1 Yaris. MK1 Yaris imo is the most reliable car ever made 👍

[@jdmguy44]

That's a Glasgow registered Jazz! Winter road conditions here in west central Scotland are very harsh. Road salting is brutal here November to March and it looks like this little Honda has really suffered as a result. I actually have a 53 plate Civic as a second car. Its in super clean condition and absolutely rust free - even underneath. Thing is for the first 18 years of its life in lived in Bedfordshire. Never buy an old car that's lived in Scotland all it's life regardless of make!

Rust killed my RD1 CRV. I went in cheap, knowing it was rusty and got a good 18 months service out of it. Rear end rust was the killer. Sills/arches/inner arches. The old adage of not poking the rusty bit is very much the truth with old Hondas.

I managed to get a set of Corsa headrests for £13 for my sister... But these Jazz ones seem to sell for £25 - £29 for a rear pair and someone spent £47 on dirty front ones. 💷 A sun visor is £20 and a side mirror or headlight £40. How many bits could you take off before scrapping? 🤔

[@Cayres9]

Also gearbox whine is not always a bad sign as i owned a 1.3 Suzuki Wagon R in the past and the whine was good sound like a rally car , it never had issues changing gear and it went on for over 20 thousand miles like that Japanese cars can take a lot of abuse just a shame the Jazz is in such a bad condition with the arches

[@Pierremontquaker03]

How would the arches get so bad? Is it because the car has been sitting out in the wind and the rain maybe? I have just bought a 10 year old Mazda 3 - all the bodywork looks fine and I noticed the owner had a garage and maybe while they were not using it or in the cold winter months the car would be in the garage away from the elements - I don't own a garage so I expect the bodywork will get worse under my ownership.

[@carukchannel]

Car was from Scotland which does not help, the roads up there are salt ridden from late October to march so that has had a bearing on a car that's not great for underbody protection

[@anthonycunliffe]

[@carukchannel]

Your not wrong cabo

[@DGQ1Q2]

That is in the point. I think, any who buy a new car "inclusive new 0 miles" must put some protection underneath right away like Lano guard or anything else, specially in Scotland. I have the same Honda model of the video, with 169k miles 17 years old. and I am fighting the rust in the sills. And attack right away the rear arch rust. I clean the rust and use rust converter and paint myself to avoid have a Honda like the video, it is cheap solution. but this Honda in the video damn, 90k miles and is in horrible stage. The rest those Hondas are super reliable and easy to repair.

[@split_pin]

Worth a gamble at that price, I always like a chance on a cheapie, you never know! My mate had a 56 plate civic MK8 that was rotten around the rear suspension but my 59 plate example had no rust at all so I think Honda might have improved the bodywork quality in that space of time. Still good cars if they're not rusty, I liked my diesel Civic. Liking the cheap car episodes and the auction videos too 👍

[@danmoney9932]

I went to look at a mk8 on a 59. Pretty perfect up top but starting to go underneath by the rear beam mountings and exhaust hanger. Guy wanted 5k for it too 😢 hopefully I can find a good one soon as mechanically I hear they are excellent

Genuine question, since the car is more than 50% usable, what are the chances this will actually get broken rather than straight scrapped for metal value?

[@carukchannel]

It depends on the scrap yard, the scrap yard I use it will sit in the yard no doubt for bits as they do break a lot of vehicles. so it will have some use to others which is some positive I guess

[@dauntlessasmr7910]

@@flippingcarsrepairs I still like the look of the current Honda Civic. Especially in black. What's really put me off is that even though you can get a turbo on the standard range of Civics, it's downright anemic. The one in the current Mazda 3 gives you 250hp. The Civic's is only 180. That's not enough HP to deal with the headaches associated with a Turbo. Heck for only 10hp less compared to the Civic, you can get a Toyota Corolla non-turbo charged engine. No Turbo headaches, runs off Regular fuel, and the engine will practically last forever with a bit of care.

What a shame as a decent little runabout otherwise. I've had many Honda's over the years as my go to cheap used buy all of them have been great runners up to 160k easy, just a regular service once a year. Remember a 02 plate HRV bought for £700 been standing for months with moss on the windows, cleaned it up gave a service and ran it from 80k to 164k with one issue , the EML light came on at 160k but would still run me to work and back 100 miles a day. Great cars.

I found a low mileage one on Gumtree and was going to recommend it to a pal for his son...then I checked the MOT history. Corroded to f***

I have I inherited one of my Grandma it was rotten, back arches had more filler then any car I've ever seen there was also alot of heavy rust underneath aswell. Only done 46k on an 07plate, ended up breaking it as it was too far gone I don't know how it had a valid MOT it was so bad.

Depends how you look after them.

[@video99couk]

I had to get a small amount of cosmetic rust tended to recently on my 1994 Toyota Celica. Not all Japanese cars are rot buckets.
