Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for those seekin
Given the vehicle is over 20 years old, prioritize a physical inspection for age-related corrosion. While the August 2025 MOT was clean, you should confirm that the nearside rear brake pads, which were noted as wearing thin in July 2024, have been replaced.
Check the service history for evidence of regular oil changes, as this supports the longevity of the 1.3L petrol engine. Negotiate based on the age of the tyres and any remaining cosmetic wear consistent with a 2004 registration.
The 1.3L petrol engine is designed for efficiency, typically offering low fuel consumption for urban driving. This model generally falls into a lower insurance group and a modest tax band, keeping fixed annual costs manageable.
Maintenance costs for the Jazz are typically low, although the age of this specific vehicle means some rubber components or seals may require attention. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, is approximately £900-£1,200.
Pay close attention to the headlamps; the 2022 failure for beam image and the 2023 advisory for frosting suggest a recurring weak point. Ensure the lenses are clear and the aim is correct to avoid future MOT issues.
Inspect the braking system, specifically the rear pads, following the 2024 advisory. Additionally, check the windscreen wipers and other consumables, as these are among the top failure reasons for this model across the wider aggregate data.
This blue 2004 Honda Jazz has recorded 91,582 miles, placing it below the average annual mileage for this model. The MOT history is relatively clean, featuring a pass with no defects in August 2025 and only one recorded failure in 2022. The vehicle's history aligns with common model trends regarding headlamp and brake wear.
The Honda Jazz has a solid reliability reputation, with an average MOT pass rate of 81.4% across 345,130 analysed vehicles.
