Price range
P75 → P25 of asking — the middle half of listings at that age sits inside this band. Outliers above and below excluded.
Down payment
MAS Notice 642 LTV cap applied to the age's median asking: 30% when OMV is up to S$20k, 40% above. Max loan tenure 7 years. Rows marked * mix both OMV buckets — we display the conservative 40% figure so the quote never under-states what a luxury-OMV listing at that age would actually require.
Availability
High when this age's listing share is ≥1.5× the model's uniform expectation, low when ≤0.6×, medium otherwise. Model-relative, so an evenly-spread model lands all-medium.

BARGAIN BUYSWell-built but depreciates fast — buy cheap, drive long.
Brand reliability
Consumer-survey composite — JD Power · WhatCar · Consumer Reports. Same score for every variant of a given make.
Resale strength
100 − 3× annualised tangible-decay (COE-stripped). Fitted from each variant's asking-price-by-age regression then averaged at model level.
Peer set
Every same-segment model with ≥5 active PARF listings whose variants fit a depreciation curve. Practicality isn't plotted — it's a body-shape constant within the segment, so it would be the same for every dot.
Quadrants
The crosshair marks the segment median on each axis. Top-right (Safe Bets) is strong on both; top-left (Hidden Gems) holds value above what the brand reputation suggests; bottom-right (Bargain Buys) is well-built but depreciates fast — buy cheap; bottom-left (High Risk) is soft on both.

Verdict

Newest-gen Honda Jazz / Fit — i-MMD hybrid (2-motor e:HEV) replaces the older i-DCD dual-clutch hybrid of the 3rd gen. e:HEV is the same matured architecture as Vezel RV / Odyssey RC4 / Stepwgn RP8 / Accord hybrid. L15B / L15C petrol on non-hybrid trims with the standard Honda CVT HCF-2 fluid discipline. Cars 1-5 years old; not widely-reported failure pattern. The Jazz GR is a meaningful step forward from the GK era (no more dual-clutch shudder, no more 3 software recalls). SG market sees both petrol + hybrid.
Asking
S$107k–143k
Median
S$125k
Decay

What's good

  • The e:HEV hybrid (LFA + 2-motor i-MMD) — sidesteps the GK-era i-DCD dual-clutch shudder story entirely; same matured i-MMD architecture as Vezel RV / Odyssey RC4. The boring durable Honda hybrid pick.
  • Petrol L15 with documented Honda HCF-2 CVT fluid services — standard Honda CVT discipline rule. HCF-2 receipts at 25-30k miles in SG heat is the long-term-life signal.

What to watch

  • Petrol Jazz GR with CVT serviced using non-HCF-2 fluid — standard Honda CVT killer; belt glaze + heat spike + transmission death. S$4-7k replacement locally; walk unless asking prices it in.
  • Hybrid e:HEV with unexplained low battery / range warnings — early i-MMD hybrid systems are generally robust but pull a HV battery SOH at viewing on any 4+ year old hybrid for confidence.

3rd gen GK/GP (2013-2020) · Reg 2015–2020

Tap to expand

Verdict

Same car as the Fit GK/GP — Jazz is the SG / UK / Europe name, Fit is the JDM name; same chassis codes (GK / GP) + same drivetrains. Non-hybrid Jazz (1.3 / 1.5L L13B/L15B + CVT) is the clean buy; the rare i-DCD hybrid imports carry the same Honda dual-clutch recall story. CVT fluid changes are the durability lever.
Asking
S$32k–55k
Median
S$44k
Decay
31.7%/yr

What's good

  • 1.3L / 1.5L petrol Jazz (GK series) with documented CVT fluid service — sidesteps the i-DCD story entirely. The L-series + CVT is reliably the buy-and-keep Jazz; fluid history is the gating check on CVT longevity.
  • A hybrid Jazz import with all 3 i-DCD recalls done + DCT fluid history — rarer in SG since most parallel-import Jazz are petrol, but if hybrid the same recall logic as Fit GP5/GP6 + Shuttle GP7/GP8 + Vezel RU3/RU4 applies. Paperwork matters.

What to watch

  • Juddery CVT or hesitation on light throttle (petrol) — the L-series CVT wants Honda-spec fluid changes; juddery operation usually means it was skipped. Could be a fluid change away from fine, or could be belt wear.
  • Hybrid import with hesitation, jerky shifts, or no recall confirmation — same i-DCD story across the Honda hybrid range. The recall fix is non-negotiable.

Verdict

1st-gen Honda Jazz/Fit — 1.3L / 1.5L L13 / L15 i-DSI petrol + 4-speed auto / CVT. Cars 17-24 years old; aged-Honda items dominate. Heavy SG PHV exposure on used examples. Honda CVT same HCF-2 fluid discipline.

Decay

What's good

  • Private-history with full Honda service + 4-speed auto — boring durable. Sidesteps CVT concerns.
  • L13 / L15 with documented service — bulletproof Honda.

What to watch

  • Heavy-PHV / ex-taxi at high mileage — dominant negative signal.
  • Tired AC and worn suspension at 17+ years — aging items.

Common questions about the Honda Jazz

How much does a used Honda Jazz cost in Singapore?
Most used Honda Jazz on the market are around 8 years old, asking roughly S$32k–S$41k (typically about S$37k). That's the age with the widest choice — and the most sellers competing, so it's where you'll have the most room to bargain.
How much does a used Honda Jazz depreciate per year?
A used Honda Jazz loses value at a fairly steady pace — around 25% a year — with no real plateau. An older one costs less but keeps falling at much the same rate, so there's no single 'bargain age': buy on price and condition, not on timing.
Is the Honda Jazz reliable?
In our read, the Honda Jazz scores 85 out of 100 on brand reliability. That still varies by generation and how the individual car was looked after, so always check the service history before you commit.
What should I expect to pay for a used Honda Jazz with a given mileage?
It depends on the exact variant, age and mileage — a higher-mileage car should ask less. Use the price modeller on this page to get a fair-price range for a specific age and mileage, so you know what to offer.
Where do these Honda Jazz figures come from?
They're worked out from current used-Honda Jazz listings in Singapore — asking prices, mileage and registration years — not past transaction prices. We refresh them regularly, and we flag thin data rather than guess.
