Should I regularly drive the Honda Jazz Hybrid in B mode?
I drive a new Honda Jazz Hybrid and I’ve read that a lot of people drive using B mode up to 45mph for almost one peddle driving. Will this damage the engine or transmission in the long run?

It won't cause any damage, in fact it will prolong the life of your brake discs and pads by providing most of the car's stopping power. All it does is reverse the direction the electric motor spins – so it produces electricity from kinetic energy of the car slowing.
If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.
