You don't give the year so I'm guessing this is a 2001-2008 Jazz 1.4iDSI CVT-7. The transmission fluid should have been changed a few times. It's an 8 plug engine so a change of plugs is expensive. And periodically the valves have to be re-shimmed. More here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/honda/jazz-2001/
