Our Verdict
This 2018 Honda Jazz with the 1.3-litre petrol engine presents a low-risk purchase opportunity, supported by a flawless five-test MOT history. The combination of modest mileage, consistent annual use, and Honda's reputation in this segment makes it worth shortlisting for buyers seeking a dependable supermini.
With no MOT advisories on record, there is no specific defect history to investigate further, but a pre-purchase inspection is still wise. Ask the seller for any available service receipts and confirm the timing belt (or chain, depending on service schedule) has been replaced at the recommended interval — for the 1.3 i-VTEC this is typically a timing chain rather than a belt, which reduces long-term maintenance costs. Check that all standard equipment works, including the air conditioning, rear Magic Seat configuration, and infotainment system, as these are common areas where owners of this generation report wear.
Given that the average mileage is below the model's typical figure, this car may have had lighter use than most — worth asking why. A short test drive should confirm smooth clutch operation, quiet engine running, and even tyre wear. Negotiate based on tyre age and brake disc condition, both of which are common wear items that may be due around this mileage.
The 1.3-litre i-VTEC petrol engine in the Honda Jazz is one of the most economical non-hybrid small cars available, with real-world fuel economy typically between 45 and 55 mpg. Road tax falls in a low band thanks to its modest CO2 output, and the Jazz generally sits in insurance group 13 or lower depending on trim, keeping premiums reasonable for a supermini. Parts are inexpensive and widely available, and Honda's engineering reputation for this engine suggests minimal unscheduled maintenance.
Although the MOT record shows no defects, it is worth physically inspecting common Jazz weak points. The most frequently cited MOT failure reasons for the model overall are headlamp issues, windscreen wiper condition, and tyre wear — none of which have appeared on this vehicle's record, but all are worth a visual check at the current mileage. Inspect the rear brake drums and front brake pads for wear, as 35,000 miles is approaching the point where pads may need replacement.
Check the underside for any signs of corrosion, particularly around the rear wheel arches and underbody seams — although this generation of Jazz is less prone to rust than its predecessors. Confirm the clutch operates smoothly without slipping or noise, and verify the air conditioning blows cold, as regassing is a common owner expense on older cars. Finally, examine the tyres for age-related cracking on the sidewalls, regardless of tread depth.
First registered in September 2018, this blue Honda Jazz has accumulated just 35,131 miles across nearly eight years, equating to roughly 4,200 miles annually — below the Honda Jazz model average of 5,211 miles per year. Five consecutive MOT tests between 2021 and 2025 have been passed without a single advisory or failure, which is unusual against the model's average pass rate of 81.4%. The 1,318cc petrol engine is the entry-level variant in the Jazz range, well known for its efficiency and simplicity.
The Honda Jazz has a strong reliability reputation, reflected in its 81.4% MOT pass rate across 344,738 vehicles analysed, with common failures limited to minor items such as headlamp bulbs, wiper blades, and tyres.
