Our Verdict
This 2005 Honda Jazz shows a mixed MOT h
When inspecting this 2005 Jazz, verify that the suspension arm bushes, anti-roll bar ball joints, and brake pipes noted in the December 2025 test have been properly addressed or replaced. Check the service history for proof of regular fluid changes and brake maintenance, especially given the history of binding brakes and worn pads. Use the record of past failures to negotiate on the purchase price if any borderline advisory items require imminent attention.
The 1339.0cc petrol engine offers reasonable fuel economy for a hatchback of this era, though annual mileage of roughly 98,500 miles means wear and tear items will need periodic replacement. Insurance falls into a relatively low group typical for a 1.4-litre Jazz, and vehicle tax is calculated on engine size or emissions depending on the exact variant. Budget for typical maintenance including tyres, bulbs, and suspension components highlighted in recent tests.
Pay close attention to the front suspension, specifically checking the offside front suspension arm bush and nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint which were flagged in the 2025 tests. Inspect the brake lines for any remaining corrosion, particularly around the offside front brake pipe. Check all exterior lighting functionality, including position lamps and headlamp dipped beams, as bulb and wiring issues have appeared across multiple MOT tests.
First registered in April 2005, this red Honda Jazz with a 1339.0cc petrol engine has covered 98,501 miles as of its December 2025 MOT. Its MOT history reveals failures in both 2023 and 2025 for items including worn suspension components, binding brakes, and lighting faults. While it holds a current pass, the recurring mechanical advisories require careful consideration.
The Honda Jazz generally achieves an aggregate MOT pass rate of 81.4% across the UK fleet, though individual results depend heavily on upkeep and age.
