Our Verdict
This 2006 Honda Jazz is a remarkably well-maintained example with an exceptional four-year clean pass MOT streak. Backed by below-average mileage and a solid mechanical reputation, it represents a very low-risk buy for everyday motoring.
When viewing this Jazz, verify the stamped service history to ensure oil changes and routine maintenance have kept pace with its annual mileage accumulation. Pay close attention to the clutch biting point and manual gearchange, and test all electrical features including the heater blower and windows. Given its age, inspect the condition of the bodywork around the wheel arches and sills for any signs of surface corrosion.
Negotiate on the basis of any minor cosmetic wear consistent with a 2006 vehicle, though the mechanical condition shown in the MOT certificates is reassuringly clean. Ensure that all previous MOT certificates and a V5C logbook are present before finalising the sale.
The 1.25-litre petrol engine offers excellent fuel economy for urban commuting and motorway journeys alike, typically returning strong MPG figures. Road tax falls into a sensible bracket for a vehicle of this engine size and age, while insurance sits in a low group, making it an ideal choice for new drivers or those looking to keep motoring overheads down.
Routine maintenance is straightforward and inexpensive thanks to the Jazz's simple mechanical layout and widespread availability of parts. Typical annual running costs, covering fuel, standard servicing, road tax, and insurance, are estimated at £900-£1,200 depending on your exact driver profile.
While the recent MOT history is pristine with zero defects noted across the last four years, general inspection should still cover the known weak points for the Honda Jazz model. Check the tyres for even tread wear and correct pressure, inspect the headlamp units for cloudiness or alignment issues, and examine the anti-roll bar linkages for any knocks or play during a test drive.
Additionally, inspect the condition of the brakes, suspension dampers, and exhaust system underneath. Although no advisories were flagged in 2022, 2023, 2024, or 2025, verifying these components manually ensures long-term reliability.
First registered in March 2006, this silver Honda Jazz features a 1246.0cc petrol engine and has covered just 96,347 miles by its latest May 2025 test. Its recent MOT history is spotless, showing four consecutive first-time passes with zero advisories recorded between 2022 and 2025. This indicates careful previous ownership and diligent upkeep of a model renowned for its dependable nature.
The Honda Jazz holds a strong reputation for durability, reflected in an aggregate MOT pass rate of 81.9% across hundreds of thousands of tested vehicles.
