Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to a recurring
When inspecting this vehicle, focus heavily on the suspension and steering components. The MOT history highlights repeated issues with anti-roll bar linkages and ball joints, suggesting these areas are prone to wear on this specific car. Ensure you check the service history for any record of these parts being replaced rather than just adjusted or patched.
Furthermore, the tyres have been a recurring advisory or failure point for three consecutive years. Ensure the current tyres have sufficient tread depth and are free from the cracking or perishing noted in previous tests. Use the history of these failures as a point of negotiation on the final purchase price.
The 1.2-litre petrol engine is generally economical, though real-world fuel consumption will depend on driving style. As a 2013 model, it falls into a predictable tax bracket, and insurance groups for the Honda Jazz are typically favourable for most drivers.
Maintenance costs should be anticipated to be slightly higher than average given the recurring suspension wear noted in the MOT records. You should budget for potential future repairs to ball joints and anti-roll bar components, alongside standard annual servicing and tyre replacements. Estimated annual running costs are approximately £1,100-£1,300.
Pay close attention to the front suspension, specifically the ball joints and anti-roll bar linkages, as these have caused multiple MOT failures. Listen for any knocking or rattling sounds during a test drive, particularly when driving over uneven surfaces, which could indicate lingering wear in these components.
Inspect all four tyres for signs of sidewall cracking or perishing, as this has been a recurring observation in the MOT history since 2023. Additionally, check the condition of the headlamp lenses; the 2025 MOT noted a slight defect, so ensure visibility remains clear and that the units are not clouded or damaged.
This 2013 Honda Jazz has covered 51,239 miles since its registration in March 2013. The MOT record shows a consistent history of failures related to suspension components and tyre condition, with issues documented in both 2023 and 2024. While it passed its most recent test in September 2025, the history indicates that ongoing maintenance of the chassis and tyres is required.
The Honda Jazz is generally regarded as a dependable model, though aggregate data shows that headlamp and suspension components are common areas for MOT failures across the range.
