Why the fuel type changes the number
No exhaust, no emissions test and far fewer moving parts, which is why EVs post the highest pass rates of any fuel type. Tyres and suspension take the load instead, since they are heavier.
On the Honda Jazz specifically, hybrid is the strongest at 86.9%, and this electric version sits 6 points above the 79.2% model average.
What it means if you are buying one
The electric Honda Jazz is the stronger side of this model on MOT data. Still judge the individual car, but the fuel type is a mild point in its favour. Check the exact car, decode the VIN and check the mileage before you bid.
Mileage is part of the answer
The average electric Honda Jazz had covered 78,666 miles at test, against 66,291 for the petrol and 60,484 for the hybrid. That is a shade above the middle of the range, still ordinary wear rather than a red flag, but worth checking against the service book for the car's age.
Fuel type and mileage are tangled together: diesels are usually bought by higher-mileage drivers, so some of any gap between fuels is the miles rather than the engine. The per-year figures on the Honda Jazz page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
