Our Verdict
Exercise caution regarding the braking s
The primary area for negotiation and investigation is the braking system. The August 2026 MOT explicitly notes that both nearside and offside rear service brakes are binding and the pads are wearing thin. You should verify if these have been repaired since the test or budget for caliper and pad replacements.
Additionally, check the service history for any evidence of suspension work following the 2024 failure of the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage. Ensure the track rod end ball joint dust covers, which were flagged as deteriorated in 2025, have been replaced to prevent premature joint failure.
The 1339cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, typically placing this vehicle in a lower insurance group and a reasonable road tax bracket for its age. Maintenance costs for the Jazz are generally moderate, though this specific vehicle shows a higher-than-average requirement for brake maintenance.
Annual costs will be driven primarily by fuel and the need for periodic wear-and-tear replacements. Given the age and recent MOT advisories, a higher maintenance budget is recommended for the first year of ownership.
Prioritise a physical inspection of the rear brakes. The MOT history shows a three-year trend of rear brake disc pitting, binding, and thin pads (2024-2026), which suggests a chronic issue rather than simple wear. A professional should check for seized calipers.
Inspect all four tyres for consistent tread depth and sidewall integrity, following the 2024 failure where multiple tyres were found to be below the legal 1.6mm limit or cut. Finally, check the front suspension components, specifically the anti-roll bar linkages and track rod ends, to ensure they are operating smoothly.
This silver 2009 Honda Jazz has recorded 97,174 miles. The MOT history reveals a failure in 2024 due to tyre wear and anti-roll bar linkage issues, alongside a recurring trend of rear brake binding and worn pads appearing in the 2024, 2025, and 2026 records.
The Honda Jazz is generally well-regarded, with an 81.6% average MOT pass rate, although brake pads are identified as a common failure point for the model.
