Only 6000 on clock at Service 1. Cost zero to me due to 5-plan. Took dealer 2 hours inc wash and vac. Handed back looking like new, and nothing bad to report. Everything rated green, not even an amber. Impressive. Engine has started to loosen up a bit now, overall ave mpg is 62 over the first 6000. Very happy. No service book, electronic only records, which im not really a fan of. Much rather have a stamped service book, but that's regrettably the way of things now. Briliant car - pretty much does everything asked of it very well. Whilst not a sports car, it's deceptively fast if required too! :)

Easy to service Jazz. More of a visual inspection and basic service such as oil and all filters etc.
Happy times :)

My 72 plate is due it's 4th (of the 5 year plan) service in August, and by that time it will be around the 43k miles point.
As yours, the last 3 services have given good feedback regarding the health of the car.
Hopefully service 4 will follow the trend.

I'm on a 72 plate but only 16k, all service great and MOT passed no problems.

Personally I'm expecting a very long life for these Jazz e:HEV vehicles. Better than previous generations (which was excellent). Because now the transmission seems very sturdy and the engine mainly working at optimal rpm for power generation.
Unless you purely use it on the highway at 110-140km/h, still going to be fine because it seems like a good Honda engine. But here the engine would get a lot more punishment.
The only thing I'm not sure how long will last is the high voltage battery life.
Anybody knows if somebody had to adjust the valves yet and at which mileage?

To my way of thinking, even if you do highway/motorway driving the engine is still not going to taxed or punished as much as a conventional ICE engine. The constant switch between electric/hybrid/petrol means the engine is very rarely under full load. I reason that my 40k+ mileage has only stressed the engine to an equivalent ICE mileage car of say of 25k miles.
The electric battery is guaranteed for 8 years... and I assume by that time battery technology will have improved and become such that you will just replace the old with a new one.
Does the engine require valve adjustment, is it the same set up as previous generations or again like my previous point about a less stressed engine and valve wear is negligible compared to pure ICE motors. The only things I will be asking at my 4th service is when my brake simulator will be replaced and when does the cam belt need changing?

afaik the Jazz's engine has a cam chain and the maintenance schedule doesn't even list it as a check point.

Just looked in the manual, and valve clearances are checked at 75k.
