AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle's MOT history shows a pattern of recent failures followed by passes, indicating a trend of resolving issues rather than a steady decline. The most recent test on 19 March 2026 shows the car passed after a failure on the same day. This mirrors the sequence seen in March 2025, where the vehicle failed on 27 March before passing on 28 March. While the most recent result is a pass with no defects, the recurring need for retests suggests intermittent mechanical or safety-related issues that require attention before passing. The recorded mileage of 61,424 miles is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,678 miles per year. The MOT records provide a snapshot of annual testing from March 2024 through March 2026. There are no significant gaps in the testing intervals, and the mileage accumulation appears steady across the documented period. The data provided is relatively sparse regarding specific component wear, as no advisories or specific defect descriptions were recorded in the provided history. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension components. Because the vehicle failed on the same day as its most recent pass in March 2026, and previously in March 2025, there is a possibility of recurring issues with items such as brake pad thickness, disc condition, or tyre tread depths. Checking for signs of uneven tyre wear or binding calipers is advisable. Additionally, inspecting the underside for corrosion and checking the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs would be prudent to ensure no underlying issues were missed during the MOT process. buying_score: 62 risk_level: Medium.

Our Verdict

A solid recommendation for those seeking a practical hatchback with a relatively consistent MOT record. While there have been recent failures, the vehicle has consistently passed following repairs.

When inspecting this 1.5L petrol Jazz, focus on the recent MOT history. Although the 2026 and 2025 tests resulted in failures, they were followed by immediate passes, which indicates that issues were identified and addressed. You should ask the seller for documentation regarding what specifically caused the failures in March 2025 and March 2026.

Given the higher-than-average mileage, check the service history for regular oil changes and component replacements. As with all used cars, verify that the tyres and windscreen wipers are in good condition, as these are common failure points for this model across the wider Honda Jazz dataset.

The 1498cc petrol engine is generally efficient for urban and suburban driving. You should check the specific tax band for this 2018 model, as it will impact your annual fixed costs.

Maintenance costs for a Honda Jazz are typically predictable, though you should budget for standard wear-and-tear items like tyres and brakes. Based on the mileage and engine size, the estimated annual running cost is moderate.

While the most recent MOT pass in March 2026 recorded no defects, the history shows two instances of failure (one in 2025 and one in 2026) just prior to passing. You should inspect the lighting systems, specifically the headlamps, and the condition of the windscreen wipers, as these are statistically common failure reasons for this model.

Additionally, check the tyre tread depth and condition across all four wheels. Since the vehicle has covered over 61,000 miles, a thorough inspection of the brake pads and discs is also advised to ensure they are performing correctly.

This 2018 silver Honda Jazz (WF18FCO) has covered 61,424 miles since its first registration in March 2018. The MOT history shows three recorded tests, with the most recent pass in March 2026. The mileage is notably higher than the model average of 5,211 miles per year, suggesting it has been used more frequently than typical examples.

The Honda Jazz shows an average MOT pass rate of 81.4% across 344,738 analysed vehicles, with common failures related to consumables like headlamps, wipers, and tyres.
