Looking at 2013 1.2 Hybrid Jazz - Risky?

[Lancerking23]

Hi there!
So I am currently driving a piece of crap Lancer 1.6 that needs a saudi-oil company to run. The gas is killing me and it's heavy and sluggish.

I am looking at a Mark 2 Jazz.

They have two versions in my budget.
1. 2013 Natural 1.2 with the red rear lights
2. 2013 Hybrid with the clear rear lights

Which would you go for? Obviously I ask because it's what, 3000 quid to replace the batteries? Can they go for another 10 years you reckon?

Also, what are the top 3 faults that all mk2 owners face at 12 years old now? Just so I can see how much is it to repair such faults.

Thanks so much!

Hi,
my wife has 2013 Petrol with 160k miles and no problems.
Except the 5 times folks have bumped into it!!!!  :'(

She keeps it in good order and annual service.
No problems whatsoever, except now I have a misfiring cylinder - which was rather unexpected  :'(

She just wants the car running again! I am in the process of sorting it out.

The previous was a ballade that we ran for 9 years and traded in for the Jazz ('cos she liked it!)

The petrol engines are basically built proof and if Honda still produced a petrol engine today she would get another.
Great little cars!!
Really, 9+12 years without any problems whatsever is unreal.

Cool info! Do you have the hybrid version?

Hi,
nope.  It is the petrol version.  The hybrid was released soon after we purchased this car.

I spoke to the Honda garage about this and they said:

First civic hybrids still had batteries with problems. Those were replaced by another brand. Since then the batteries packs, which are also in the Jazz, are expected to last a lifetime.


I have a 2011 Jazz. Only issue I had was with the cooling fan of the hybrid pack. Was quite a costly repair. Other than that the car drives like a charm and is very reliable. I do see bits of rust starting near the rear wheel arches, but I guess that common on most older cars.
