The 2021 Honda Jazz Crosstar is exceptionally reliable, with a 95.7% first-time pass rate that sits 15.7 percentage points above the UK average—this hybrid is genuinely well-engineered. Dangerous defects are vanishingly rare at 2.0%, so safety concerns are minimal for buyers.

These vehicles are still young with a median mileage of just 17,750 miles, which explains the stellar results; the real test comes as they age. When failures do occur they're minor (0.12 per vehicle on average), though advisories like wear items crop up at 0.7 per vehicle—typical for a well-built car hitting its first service intervals. If you're considering one, have the hybrid system independently inspected by a Honda specialist, as that's the one component where specialist knowledge matters.

The 2021 Honda Jazz Crosstar Ex I Mmd CVT passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (96.2% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
