Our Verdict
A highly recommended example for those seeking low-mileage motoring. The consistent MOT pass history without defects suggests a vehicle that has avoided common mechanical or structural failures.
When inspecting this specific Honda Jazz, focus on the electric powertrain components and battery health, as this is a specialized fuel type variant. While the MOT history shows no defects, you should still verify the service history to ensure the electric system has been maintained according to manufacturer intervals.
Negotiate based on the low mileage and the clean MOT record. Check for any signs of tyre wear or windscreen damage, as these are the most common failure points for this model across the wider dataset. Ensure the charging equipment is present and functional before completing the purchase.
Running costs for this electric Jazz are expected to be relatively low, particularly regarding fuel (electricity) compared to petrol alternatives. Tax bands for electric vehicles are generally lower, though you should confirm the specific current UK rate for this model year.
Maintenance costs are typically lower for electric vehicles due to fewer moving parts, but you should budget for tyre replacements and suspension checks. Based on the low annual mileage of approximately 3,500 miles for this specific car, annual running costs are likely to be modest.
Despite the flawless MOT record for this vehicle, you should carry out a thorough inspection of the tyres and windscreen, as these are the top failure reasons for the Honda Jazz model aggregate. Check the tread depth and look for any cracks in the glass.
Given the electric fuel type, inspect the charging port for any signs of corrosion or damage. Additionally, check the headlamps for clarity and alignment, as lighting issues are a frequent failure point in the wider model data. Even with no recorded defects, these are standard areas of concern for this model.
This 2012 Honda Jazz (FX12XMM) presents with significantly lower-than-average mileage for its age, having covered just under 50,000 miles in approximately 14 years. The MOT history is notably clean, with five consecutive passes from 2022 to 2026 showing zero defects recorded. Given the model's aggregate data shows an 81.4% pass rate, this specific green 1.3L variant appears to be performing well above the statistical norm.
The Honda Jazz shows an average MOT pass rate of 81.4% across the dataset, with common failures typically involving headlamps, wipers, and tyres.
