Please check with a salesperson. During an arranged viewing of the Honda Jazz 1.2 Fit, Mr. Vulliamy asked repeatedly how many owners the car had had to which he received an evasive response; at no point were we told that it was an import even though we asked about the fact that it was called a 'Fit', rather than a 'Jazz'. The invoice of sale for the Honda Jazz 1.2 Fit contained no reference at all to the word 'import' despite DVLA records stating that the Honda Jazz 1.2 Fit was first registered on 1st June 2005 and subsequently reregistered on the 2nd December 2008 in the UK. The Honda Jazz 1.2 Fit spent the first three and a half years outside the UK. Furthermore, DVLA states the engine cubic capacity as 1330cc (or 1.4), and not 1.2 as advertised on the Revolution Motors' website. The vehicle is a 'Honda Fit' as the badge on the tailgate states, and not Honda Jazz Fit as written in the advert on the Revolution Motors' website. These three inaccuracies are in direct and clear contravention of The Trades Description Act (1968). Another anomaly appeared on the sales invoice with the stated mileage (written as 53,000 miles when the Honda Fit allegedly has 46,000 miles calculated by Company Director, Mr. Imran Khadam when converted from kilometres) that would have invalidated the warranty if needed to be used. There were clear clues that the Honda Jazz Fit had been imported despite the inaccurate advertisement from Revolution Motors. 'Fit' as opposed to 'Jazz' is the biggest oddity with a square rear number plate used to use existing screw holes; narrower plates being used in the Far East. Information from a DVLA free vehicle enquiry on their website confirmed its dual nationality; engines, gearboxes and specification may be different to cars in Europe. motoview.co.uk e-mailed Revolution Motors regarding the misleading Honda Jazz 1.2 Fit advertisement although Company Director, Mr. Imran Khadam, has still not returned a £500 deposit back to Mr. Vulliamy. More a rip-off than a Revolution in Motors! Quotes from Philip Vullaimy August 2012 read more
