Honda Jazz (2007)
2007 Honda Jazz
CarHunch analysed 27,620 real MOT records for the 2007 Honda Jazz. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2007 Honda Jazz has a first-time pass rate of 78.5%, slightly below the UK average of 80%, but the real concern is that nearly half of all vehicles analysed (48.7%) have recorded a dangerous defect at some point—well above what you'd want to see in a used car. This suggests structural or safety issues are more prevalent in this cohort than typical.
At an average mileage of 58,377 miles, these cars are relatively lightly used for their age, yet they're still averaging 4.2 failures and 26.5 advisories per vehicle, indicating age-related wear is catching up fast. Before buying, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on suspension, braking, and any corrosion issues, and factor in that you're likely looking at near-term repair costs beyond routine maintenance.
What to check before buying a 2007 Honda Jazz
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.
- ⚠️ 48.7% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
