Why the fuel type changes the number

Hybrids sidestep most emissions failures and tend to do lighter urban miles, though the extra weight tells on tyres and brakes.

On the Honda Jazz specifically, hybrid is the strongest at 86.9%, and this hybrid version sits 7.7 points above the 79.2% model average.

What it means if you are buying one

The hybrid 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 hybrid Honda Jazz had covered 60,484 miles at test, against 66,291 for the petrol and 78,666 for the electric. That is around average, so condition and service history will tell you more than the odometer does.

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.
