Other than that operates normally. Any ideas?

Lubricate with some silicone spray where the 2 plastic parts move

Could be on its way out. A few of us here have had the passenger side mirror inner workings changed under warranty. It starts with a few squeaks/grinding noises, and eventually fails to open intermittently. Seems to be a faulty gear that eventually gives up the ghost.

It is the passenger side. Under warranty to November 2025 so will contact Honda Eastbourne next week.

Had same problem! Yesterday had it changed under warranty.

I was literally about to post regarding this exact issue! My car is only 2 years old so hopefully I can get this fixed under warranty. I’ll contact my Honda dealership.

My Jazz had the passenger mirror motor replaced under warranty, when it was almost 3 years old,
Seems to be a common fault.
Another wasted day I won't get back. The Mk4 has had more problems than the ultra-reliable Mk2 it replaced. The latest being the brake simulator failure.

Had 2nd year service done 2 weeks ago and reported passenger side making a noise when locking car. Getting changed tomorrow while I wait under warranty :)

Which is why I will not be replacing my Mark 2 Jazz with a Honda. (likely to be a Yaris)

My 2007 Yaris was reliable. No problem with folding mirrors ,because like most cars at that time it didnt have them. But it did have some recalls. The tanaka airbag, and a couple of others.
Also the alternator needed replacement at about 40,000 milles and it broke a road spring . Not bad in 14 years of ownership but only then did I learn that both are relatively common weaknesses on the Yaris of that era, with alternators sometimes failing much sooner than mine did.
Cars have become more complex in recent years. More stuff to potentially go wrong. Unless you are replacing your Mk2 jazz with a car of similar age and relative simplicity an alternative brand may have its own set of problems only evident if you do enough research.

My friend bought a new Yaris Cross, around the same time I bought the Jazz. She has already had it back in for a wheel bearing failure, a discharged battery and a failed infotainment system.

It’s the dealer who can make a big difference to the brand experience! Those family owned businesses do go the extra distance to keep customers happy and valued ! My local Toyota and Honda garages provide service standards you expect when you are spending thousands on buying and then maintaining a car ! And as others have said todays cars are hugely sophisticated so whatever you drive it’s unlikely to be trouble free . Mark 2 and 3 jazz are a step behind in technology so may have been more reliable over a decade of use !

What is the common problem in Toyota Yaris?
Toyota Yaris Reliability and Common Problems - In The Garage ...
The Yaris is a good vehicle for first-time car owners who don't want to spend too much on repair and maintenance. Commonly reported Yaris problems: speed control trouble, bad engine mount, automatic transmission issues, faulty airbag inflators, steering malfunction, and paint issues.15 Sept

The Jazz problems look to me like a rush to production without adequate testing or Quality Control.
-
Many components are provided by sub contractors who work to a design and specification . It’s the case that the brake simulation part will be too. While Honda provide the operating parameters it could be the subcontractors design -as they are likely to be a niche expert - just as light units are as another example . Alloy wheels are only made by a couple of manufacturers. Each sub contractor carries outbtheir QC QA checks audited by Honda . A batch of rubber o rings it’s a likely cause of the failure of the brake simulator IMHO rather than a rushed into production half thought out design. Millions of cars used airbags which had a defective actuation mechanism across most manufacturers but the car builders had to sort the replacements ..

It's inevitable things will go wrong with complex products like modern cars; what matters is how the dealers and manufacturers handle the issue.
If Honda get their act together by informing car owners what the scope & extent of this problem is (year of manufacture, models and VIN of cars affected) and what they intend doing about it, they could preserve their reputation for product quality & reliability.
It can take years to build a reputation, and moments to destroy it.

After investigation on Tuesday it needs a new part like I said when booking it on. They need to contact Honda for new part and contact me to fit
