Honda Jazz S (2007)
2007 Honda Jazz S
CarHunch analysed 150 real MOT records for the 2007 Honda Jazz S. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2007 Honda Jazz S is struggling on the MOT bench: only 67.8% pass first time, compared to the UK average of 80%, which means roughly one in three come back with work needed. The good news is that dangerous defects are virtually non-existent in this cohort, so while these cars need repairs, they're not unsafe.
At nearly 92,000 miles median, these Jazzes are carrying typical mileage for their age, yet they're averaging just over one failure per vehicle, suggesting wear-related issues rather than design problems. If you're considering one, budget for some remedial work before the next MOT and have a pre-purchase inspection focus on the specific failure patterns (check advisories and common failure types in more detail).
What to check before buying a 2007 Honda Jazz S
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
