2013 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · RE63 PDU

When inspecting the vehicle, confirm that the nearside front wheel distortion noted in the 2025 MOT has been remedied – look for any signs of uneven tyre wear or damage to the wheel rim. Check the operation of the off‑side windscreen wiper and replace the blade or motor if it still fails to clear the screen effectively. Review any available service records for wheel alignment or suspension work that may have followed the MOT failure.

Negotiating on the price should take the single MOT failure into account, but also consider the below‑average mileage which typically supports a modest premium. If possible, request a recent independent mechanical inspection to verify that the wheel and wiper issues have been fully resolved and that there are no hidden suspension concerns.

Be aware that the Jazz does not feature major known reliability problems, yet the model's top MOT failure reasons include headlamps and anti‑roll bar issues. While these have not appeared on this vehicle, a visual check of the headlamp lenses and a brief test of the anti‑roll bar for any clunking noises would be prudent.

The Jazz, registered in November 2013 and currently at 37,452 miles, shows a largely clean MOT record with four passes out of five tests. Its mileage averages roughly 2,880 miles per year, considerably lower than the model's average of 5,234 miles per annum. The only recorded failure relates to a slightly distorted front wheel and a windscreen wiper issue, both of which are addressable. Combined with the Honda brand's generally solid reputation, the car offers a sensible value for a buyer seeking a low‑running‑cost run‑about.
