Our Verdict
A practical city car that requires a cau
Prioritise a physical inspection of the tyres and braking system. The November 2025 MOT recorded a nail in the nearside rear tyre and multiple tyres worn close to the legal limit; you should verify if these have been replaced since the test. Additionally, the record notes the brake pedal is wearing smooth, which may require attention for safety and tactile response.
Request the full service history to ensure the 1.3L petrol engine has been maintained. Negotiate the price based on the immediate need for new tyres and the potential replacement of the brake pedal and headlamp lenses, all of which were flagged as defects or advisories in the most recent inspection.
The 1.3L petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making it a cost-effective choice for urban driving. Insurance groups for the Honda Jazz are typically low, and the vehicle falls into a moderate tax band for its age.
Maintenance costs for this model are generally predictable, though the MOT data suggests that tyres and lighting components are frequent replacement items. Expected annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, are estimated to be between £1,100 and £1,400.
Carefully examine all four tyres, as the November 2025 MOT highlighted significant wear on the nearside front, nearside rear, and offside rear. Check the headlamp lenses for the defects noted in the MOT history and ensure all position lamps are functioning correctly, as lighting has been a repeat cause of failure for this specific vehicle in 2024 and 2025.
Inspect the front suspension, specifically the anti-roll bar. This is a known weak point for the Jazz model aggregate data and was a specific reason for this vehicle's failure in November 2025. Finally, check the condition of the brake pedal rubber to see if it remains 'worn smooth' as recorded in the MOT history.
This silver 2009 Honda Jazz has recorded 101,436 miles. The MOT history shows a recurring theme of lighting failures and tyre wear, including a failure in November 2025 for an anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover. Although it has passed its tests, the most recent certificate contains a significant number of advisories regarding tyres and the brake pedal.
The Honda Jazz has a respectable 81.3% average MOT pass rate, though aggregate data identifies headlamps and anti-roll bars as common failure points.
