Our Verdict
A strong candidate for a small petrol hatchback, provided the recent MOT failure is clarified. The low mileage and clean history make it a sensible option for urban driving.
When viewing this specific red Jazz, ask the seller for details regarding the September 2024 MOT failure. Although the retest showed no defects, knowing whether the failure was related to common items like bulbs or wipers will provide better insight into how the car is handled.
Check the service history to ensure the 1.2L engine has been maintained according to manufacturer intervals. Because this is a 2005 model, inspect the condition of rubber components and seals, as these can perish with age even if the mileage remains relatively low.
The 1246cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making this a cost-effective choice for city commuting. Expect relatively low insurance groups and predictable maintenance costs typical of a small Japanese hatchback.
Annual running costs will be influenced by your driving style and annual mileage, but the combination of a small engine and Honda's reputation for mechanical simplicity should keep the total cost of ownership manageable.
Given the aggregate data for the Honda Jazz, pay close attention to the headlamps, windscreen wipers, and anti-roll bars, as these are common failure points for this model. While this specific vehicle has had a clean run of advisories, these components should be tested during your inspection.
Additionally, check the brake pads and tyres, as well as any signs of fluid leaks under the engine bay, to ensure the car's condition matches its recent MOT pass records.
This 2005 Honda Jazz features a 1.2L petrol engine and has covered 68,247 miles since its first registration in September 2005. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passes with no recorded defects from 2021 through 2023. While it experienced a failure in September 2024 at 68,247 miles, it passed immediately upon retest with no defects noted.
The Honda Jazz shows an average MOT pass rate of 81.4% across 344,788 analysed vehicles, suggesting a generally reliable platform.
