Our Verdict
A highly recommended example for those seeking low-mileage motoring. The vehicle presents a very clean MOT history with minimal recorded issues.
When inspecting this vehicle, focus on verifying the service history to complement the clean MOT record, as MOTs only test specific safety and environmental items. Since the mileage is exceptionally low for an 8-year-old car, ensure that the tyres, brakes, and battery show appropriate age-related wear rather than just mileage-related wear.
Negotiate based on the service intervals; even with low mileage, a petrol engine requires regular oil changes to maintain the 1318cc unit. Check that the MOT history's lack of defects is matched by a documented maintenance schedule to ensure the vehicle's longevity.
The 1318cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, typically placing this model in a favourable insurance group and tax band. Owners can expect relatively low fuel consumption, making it an economical choice for urban driving.
Annual running costs are expected to be modest, primarily driven by routine servicing and occasional consumables like tyres or wipers. Given the low mileage, you may find that maintenance costs are lower than average, though you should budget for items that age regardless of distance driven.
While this specific vehicle has had no recorded defects in its most recent three MOT tests, you should remain aware of common Honda Jazz failure points noted in the wider model aggregate data, such as headlamps, windscreen wipers, and anti-roll bars.
Specifically, check the condition of the wiper blades and the clarity of the headlamp lenses. Although the 2022 failure recorded no specific defect type in the summary, it is worth inspecting the suspension components, particularly the anti-roll bars, which are a common failure reason for this model across the 344,788 vehicles analysed.
This 2018 Honda Jazz (HJ18SWY) is a low-mileage petrol model that has covered approximately 11,344 miles since its first registration in June 2018. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing, with only one recorded failure in June 2022. Given the model aggregate data shows an average annual mileage of 5,193, this specific white 1.3L variant has been driven significantly less than the statistical average.
The Honda Jazz shows a strong aggregate MOT pass rate of 81.4% across a large sample size of over 344,000 vehicles.
