Honda Jazz: reliability by registration year

2002-2022 · 21 registration years · 329,659 first tests

Registration years

First-attempt MOT results for every Jazz registration year with at least 500 first tests in 2025. Pass rates rise with newer cars, so read a year against its neighbours rather than against the top of the table. Years without their own report are listed here with the same figures.
