Our Verdict
This 2013 Honda Jazz is a sensible, low-risk used buy thanks to a near-clean MOT record and modest mileage for its age. The only blemish is a duplicated MOT entry in March 2025 where a failure was logged with no defects recorded, which is worth clarifying with the seller before purchase.
Before buying, ask the seller to explain the 2025-03-07 MOT entry showing both a failure and a pass at 54,188 miles with no defects recorded, and request the official DVSA MOT certificate or gateway record to confirm the vehicle's true test status. Given the Jazz is a 1.3-litre petrol (1339cc) model, check for a full service history to confirm routine maintenance such as timing chain checks and brake fluid changes have been kept up.
As a 1339cc petrol Honda Jazz first registered in February 2013, this car falls into a low road tax band typical of small petrol cars of that era, keeping annual VED modest. Insurance groups for the 2013 Jazz 1.3 are generally low, and real-world fuel economy is strong for urban and mixed driving, helping keep weekly costs down.
Physically inspect the bodywork and underbody of this black 2013 Jazz for corrosion or parking damage, as the MOT history shows no advisories but a 13-year-old vehicle can still develop age-related wear not captured in pass records. Verify the odometer reading matches the recorded 55,488 miles from the October 2025 MOT and confirm no warning lights are present on the dashboard.
The vehicle shows a consistent MOT pass history from 2023 to 2025, with the latest test at 55,488 miles in October 2025 recording no defects. Mileage is low for a 13-year-old supermini, having covered just over 4,000 miles per year on average. A curious MOT entry on 2025-03-07 shows both a fail and a pass at the same mileage (54,188) with no defects noted, suggesting an administrative or system error rather than a mechanical fault.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Honda Jazz to benchmark this example against the wider model population.
