Honda Jazz (2013)
2013 Honda Jazz
CarHunch analysed 21,884 real MOT records for the 2013 Honda Jazz. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2013 Honda Jazz passes its MOT at 88.5%, well above the UK average of 80%, which signals genuinely solid reliability for its age. However, 27.3% of these vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, which is notably high and worth investigating during a pre-purchase inspection—check the full MOT history carefully.
At just under 39,000 miles median mileage, these Jazzes are relatively lightly used for an 11-year-old car, suggesting you're likely to find well-preserved examples. The average of 1.41 failures and 9.6 advisories per test points to minor wear rather than structural problems, so budget for routine maintenance items rather than major repairs—but always request a full MOT history before committing to buy.
What to check before buying a 2013 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.
- ⚠️ 27.3% 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.
