2022 Honda Jazz EX I-MMD CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · RV22 AEL

The 2022 Honda Jazz has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness over its MOT history, with both recent tests—conducted on 2026-03-04 and 2025-03-07—resulting in clean passes at 19,845 and 14,826 miles respectively. There are no recorded defects or advisories in either test, indicating no recurring mechanical issues or deterioration in critical systems. The absence of any advisory notes also suggests the tester did not identify any components requiring imminent attention, such as worn suspension bushes or binding calipers. While this pattern is reassuring, the lack of historical data beyond these two tests means there is no evidence of long-term wear trends or maintenance habits beyond the past two years. The recorded mileage of 19,845 miles over four years—approximately 4,961 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, particularly given typical UK usage patterns. The gap between tests (around 12 months each) aligns with standard MOT intervals, but the overall low mileage raises questions about the vehicle’s usage history. Such low mileage could imply extended periods of inactivity, which may accelerate certain forms of degradation, such as corrosion in underbody components or degradation of fluids like brake fluid or CVT transmission oil. Alternatively, it may reflect consistent light use, though this alone does not guarantee the absence of neglect in other areas. Given the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of components that are not directly tested under MOT but are critical to long-term reliability. Focus on the CVT transmission, as these units can degrade silently over time, particularly if fluid changes have been neglected. Check for fluid leaks around the transmission mountings and inspect the condition of the cooling system, as overheating is a common failure mode in CVTs. The suspension should be examined for uneven wear on bushes or coil springs, especially if the vehicle has spent time off-road or on poorly maintained surfaces. Tyres, despite passing MOT tread limits, should be scrutinised for uneven wear patterns that could indicate alignment or wheel bearing issues. Finally, assess the underbody for corrosion, particularly around the sills and wheel arches, given the low mileage may have allowed moisture accumulation without regular movement.
