Our Verdict
This 2018 Honda Jazz with a 1.3-litre pe
With an 8-year-old supermini showing this kind of MOT record, the fundamentals look encouraging, though a physical inspection is still essential. Check the rear brake pads in person, as the April 2026 advisory noted they were wearing thin — they may now need replacement, which is a relatively inexpensive job but worth negotiating into the price. Ask to see any service history available, particularly receipts for cambelt replacement, as the 1.3-litre i-VTEC engine typically requires a cambelt change around every 7-10 years or at higher mileages. Inspect the bodywork carefully for parking dings and scratches, especially given the bright orange paint which can show age-related fading more visibly than darker colours. On test drive, pay attention to the CVT automatic gearbox (if fitted) for any juddering or hesitation, though most 2018 Jazz 1.3s were manual.
The Honda Jazz 1.3 i-VTEC is renowned for its frugal running costs. Real-world fuel economy typically falls between 45-55 mpg depending on driving style, making it one of the most economical petrol superminis on the market. Road tax falls into a low band given the 1.3-litre engine and emissions of around 111-116 g/km CO2, costing roughly £35-£190 per year depending on the exact variant and registration date. Insurance sits in group 13-16 for the 1.3 manual, keeping premiums modest for a car of this size and power. Routine maintenance is generally inexpensive, with parts widely available and Honda servicing competitive, though independent garages can often undercut main dealer prices for a car of this age.
The April 2026 MOT advisory noted rear inner brake pad wear, so inspect both rear brake discs and pads directly — if pads are nearing minimum thickness, budget around £150-£250 to replace them with new discs if needed. Check the rear brake calipers for sticking pistons, which can cause uneven wear and is a known issue on Jazz models of this generation. Examine the underside for any corrosion, particularly around rear wheel arches and suspension components, as the Jazz is generally rust-resistant but not immune. Test all electrical functions including the infotainment system, climate control, and electric mirrors, as complex electronics can be costly to repair. Finally, check the tyres for even wear, which can indicate alignment or suspension issues, and verify the spare wheel or repair kit is present.
First registered in April 2018, this orange Honda Jazz has covered 30,291 miles across its 8-year life, equating to roughly 3,786 miles per year — well below the model average of 5,234 miles annually. All five recorded MOT tests have resulted in passes, and four of those were completely clean with no advisories. The most recent test in April 2026 recorded only one minor advisory regarding rear inner brake pad wear, suggesting the vehicle remains in serviceable condition at the time of its last check.
The Honda Jazz consistently ranks among the most dependable vehicles in its class, with an 81.2% MOT pass rate across 344,935 analysed examples — placing it well above the UK average for vehicles of this age. The model's most common failure points (headlamps, windscreen wipers, anti-roll bar components) tend to be relatively minor and inexpensive to remedy.
