2021 Honda Jazz SR I-MMD CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · KC21 SKK

The most recent MOT, carried out on 30 April 2026, was passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle met the statutory safety and emissions requirements at that time. Over the three‑year MOT window the car has shown a generally stable maintenance record; the sole advisory noted on the 13 May 2025 test concerned the central front undertray not being fully secure, a minor issue that did not affect the pass result and has not re‑appeared in subsequent testing, suggesting that any corrective action taken was effective and that no new deterioration has been reported. With a recorded mileage of 8 614 miles for a vehicle first registered in 2021, the average annual usage works out at roughly 1 700 miles per year, which is considerably below the UK average for a comparable model. Such low utilisation typically means reduced wear on the engine, transmission, suspension bushings and brake components, but it can also indicate prolonged periods of inactivity. Extended standing can lead to tyre sidewall cracking, battery sulphation, and the gradual corrosion of brake discs and caliper pins, especially in a damp climate. Prospective buyers should therefore give particular attention to age‑related deterioration rather than mileage‑related wear. Inspect the tyre tread depth and, more importantly, the sidewalls for any signs of dry rot, cracking or hardening of the rubber, as these defects can develop even on low‑kilometre tyres that have been stored for years. Examine the 12 V battery for signs of electrolyte leakage, swollen case or a voltage below 12.5 V after a short load test; a battery that has sat unused for long periods often requires replacement. Check all fluid levels and consider a full service flush of engine oil, coolant and brake fluid if the last service date is unknown, because fluids degrade with time and can lead to reduced lubrication or corrosion inside critical components. Finally, verify that the central front undertray is securely fastened and that there is no rattling or scraping noise from the under‑carriage when the vehicle is driven over uneven surfaces, as a loose undertray can expose the chassis to road debris and moisture. Look for any rust or corrosion on the wheel arches, suspension mounting points and brake discs, and ensure the brake calipers move freely without binding or excessive drag. A thorough visual inspection combined with a test drive listening for clunks, vibrations or shuddering under braking will give a clear indication of the car’s current mechanical condition before committing to purchase.
