Our Verdict
This Honda Jazz presents a solid opportunity for a buyer seeking a predictable used car. The recent history of clean MOT passes suggests a period of consistent compliance.
When inspecting this specific 1.3L petrol model, focus on the service history to ensure the engine has been maintained despite the higher-than-average annual mileage. While the MOT records are currently clear, you should check for any evidence of the common model issues such as anti-roll bar wear or windscreen wiper degradation mentioned in aggregate data.
Negotiate based on the mileage; at over 81,000 miles, it has been driven significantly more than the 5,193-mile annual average for this model type. Ensure the brown paintwork is free of significant oxidation and check that all electrical components, particularly the headlamps, are functioning perfectly, as these are frequent failure points for the Jazz range.
The 1339cc petrol engine is generally efficient for urban driving, though actual fuel economy will depend on the driver. As a 2011 model, tax bands and insurance groups are typically moderate, making it an accessible choice for many UK drivers.
Maintenance costs for this Honda are expected to be standard for a small petrol hatchback. Budget for regular consumables like tyres and brakes, and keep in mind that while the MOT history is currently clean, the aggregate data suggests headlamps and wipers are common items requiring attention.
Given the MOT history, pay close attention to the lighting system and windscreen wipers. Although this specific vehicle passed its last three tests with no defects, the aggregate data for the Honda Jazz highlights headlamps and wipers as common failure points.
Additionally, check the suspension components, specifically the anti-roll bars, as this is a frequent reason for MOT failures in this model. A thorough test drive to listen for any knocks or rattles from the underside will be essential to confirm the vehicle's current mechanical state.
This 2011 Honda Jazz, finished in brown with a 1.3L petrol engine, has covered 81,038 miles as of its last test in November 2025. The MOT history shows a clean run for the last three consecutive years, following a single failure in late 2022. While the mileage is higher than the model aggregate average of 5,193 per year, the recent lack of defects is a notable feature.
The Honda Jazz shows an average MOT pass rate of 81.4% across the aggregate data, with common issues relating to lighting and suspension components.
