Our Verdict
This is a sensible option for those seek
When viewing this specific 1.4L petrol Jazz, your primary focus should be on the recent MOT failure from December 2025. Ensure that the front tyres have been replaced and that the braking system—specifically the nearside rear disc and all four brake pads—has been fully serviced or replaced as per the advisory and failure notes.
Request documentation to prove that the issues identified in the 2025 failure (tyre tread depth and brake wear) have been rectified. Because the 2024 MOT also noted tyre wear and rear brake pad thinning, you should check if these were addressed at the time or if they have been allowed to persist. A consistent service history for a vehicle with this low mileage would be a positive sign of upkeep.
The 1339cc petrol engine is generally efficient for urban driving, typically falling into a moderate insurance group and tax band suitable for budget-conscious drivers. Maintenance costs for this model are often predictable, though recent MOT data suggests you should budget for regular replacement of tyres and brake components.
Given the low annual mileage (averaging approximately 4,477 miles per year), fuel costs should remain relatively low for the owner. An estimated annual running cost, accounting for fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, would be in the region of £900-£1,200.
You must specifically inspect the braking system. The MOT history for this vehicle shows a pattern of thinning brake pads across multiple years (2024 and 2025) and a specific failure regarding a pitted or scored nearside rear brake disc in late 2025. Ensure the discs are smooth and the pads have sufficient material.
Secondly, examine the tyres thoroughly. The vehicle has a history of tyre-related issues, including tread depth failures in 2025 and edge wear/perishing noted in 2024. Check for uneven wear which could indicate alignment issues, and ensure all tyres meet the legal 1.6mm limit. Finally, check the general condition of the black paintwork and trim, as these are subject to environmental wear over a 15-year period.
This 2011 black Honda Jazz has covered 53,724 miles since its first registration in June 2011, which is notably lower than the typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The MOT history shows a clean record in 2022 and 2023, but recent tests in 2024 and 2025 have highlighted recurring issues with tyre tread and brake component wear. The vehicle's value proposition lies in its low mileage, though the recent failure requires an initial investment in consumables.
The Honda Jazz shows an 81.4% average MOT pass rate across 345,130 analysed vehicles, with brake pads being a common failure reason for this model.
