Our Verdict
This 2016 Honda Jazz presents as a low-r
The MOT history here is reassuring: five passes, no failures, and one completely clean test in October 2022. However, the repeated tyre advisories across four of the five tests deserve attention. Tyres that are perishing or cracking on a low-mileage car usually indicate age-related degradation rather than hard use, but you should confirm whether the tyres flagged in October 2025 (both front tyres worn close to the legal limit and showing cracking) have since been replaced — if not, factor £200-£300 for a pair of quality front tyres into your offer.
Ask the seller for service invoices to complement the MOT record, as MOT data alone cannot confirm maintenance history. Honda's 1.3-litre i-VTEC petrol engine has a timing chain rather than a belt, so there is no scheduled belt-change cost to worry about, but check that oil changes have been kept up — low annual mileage can tempt owners to stretch service intervals. Finally, the 2024 test noted a child seat preventing full inspection of the rear adult belt, so verify the rear seatbelts operate and retract correctly when you view the car.
Running costs for this Jazz should be modest. The 1.3-litre petrol engine is economical in real-world use, typically returning mid-40s mpg in mixed driving, and annual fuel costs will be low given this car's demonstrated usage of around 3,000 miles per year. Vehicle Excise Duty for a 2016 1.3 petrol Jazz falls into a low band, and insurance groups for this generation of Jazz are towards the affordable end of the scale, making it a sensible choice for cost-conscious drivers.
Maintenance costs should be reasonable: the model's most common MOT failure points across the 345,130 vehicles analysed are headlamps, windscreen wipers, and brake pads — all cheap, routine items. Budget for a set of tyres in the near term given the advisory history. Overall, an estimated annual running cost of £700-£900 covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance is realistic for typical low-mileage use.
Tyres are the clear priority on this specific car. The October 2025 MOT flagged both front tyres as worn close to the legal limit and showing cracking or perishing, and similar perishing advisories appeared on the rear tyres in 2023 and the fronts in 2022. Check the date codes on all four tyres — anything over six years old should be replaced regardless of tread depth — and inspect sidewalls for cracking.
Beyond tyres, verify the rear seatbelt operation, since a child seat prevented full inspection at the 2024 test. On the test drive, listen for any suspension knocks and check the brakes feel progressive, as brake pads are among the model's most common MOT failure items nationally. Also check all headlamps and wipers work correctly, as these top the model's failure list. Given the low annual mileage, look for evidence the car has been used regularly rather than sitting unused for long periods — check for brake disc corrosion and ask how the car has been stored.
This red 1.3-litre petrol Honda Jazz, first registered in January 2016, has a clean MOT record with five consecutive passes and no failures recorded. At 32,156 miles as of October 2025, it has covered roughly 3,200 miles per year — significantly below the model average of 5,243 miles annually. The recurring advisory pattern relates to tyres showing perishing, cracking, and wear close to the legal limit, which is consistent with a low-mileage car where tyres age before they wear out. The Honda Jazz as a model has an 81.4% average MOT pass rate across 345,130 vehicles analysed, and this example's record is stronger than that baseline.
The Honda Jazz shows an 81.4% average MOT pass rate across 345,130 vehicles analysed, with headlamps, windscreen wipers, and brake pads the most common failure items — all relatively minor and inexpensive. This example's unbroken run of passes is better than the model average.
