Our Verdict
Exercise caution before purchasing this 2005 Honda Jazz. While the model itself is common, the high mileage and recent MOT failure history suggest significant upcoming maintenance requirements.
If you are considering this vehicle, you must request the specific details regarding the December 2024 MOT failure, as the summary provided does not list the exact defect. Because the car has failed MOT tests in 2022, 2023, and 2024, it is essential to verify if these were minor items or more significant mechanical issues.
Negotiate the price downward to account for the high mileage and the frequency of MOT failures. Ensure you check the service history for evidence of timing chain inspections or replacement, as well as regular oil changes, which are critical for this 1339cc engine. Ask for proof of any recent work carried out to rectify the 2024 failure.
The 1.4L petrol engine is generally efficient for urban driving, though costs will be influenced by the vehicle's age. You should expect moderate fuel economy consistent with a small hatchback of this era.
Insurance groups for a 2005 Jazz are typically low, making it an affordable option for newer drivers. However, with mileage approaching 190,000, you should budget for more frequent replacement of wear-and-tear components such as brakes, suspension parts, and tyres.
Start by investigating the cause of the December 2024 MOT failure. Since the 2022, 2023, and 2024 tests all resulted in failures, look closely at the underside of the car for signs of corrosion or worn suspension components.
Given the aggregate data for this model highlights headlamps, windscreen wipers, and tyres as common failure points, check these specifically on this vehicle. Also, inspect the tyres for tread depth and ensure the headlamp lenses are clear and not significantly oxidised, as these are frequent issues for the Jazz model.
This blue 1.4L petrol Honda Jazz has covered 185,555 miles since its first registration in September 2005. The MOT history shows a pattern of failures, with the most recent failure occurring in December 2024 at 185,555 miles. Given the vehicle's age and high mileage, it sits well above the model's average annual mileage of 5,211.
The Honda Jazz has an 81.4% average MOT pass rate across the 344,738 vehicles analysed, suggesting a generally stable platform.
