2021 Honda Jazz Crosstar EX I-MMD CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · WG21 AFF

This Honda Jazz Crossstar has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded in either of the two most recent tests, most recently passing on 6 May 2025 at exactly 18,558 miles. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has been kept in a stable condition over the past year, though the short interval between tests—just under a year—implies the owner has adhered to the MOT cycle without delay. No recurring issues have been documented, which is a positive indicator of consistent upkeep. However, the lack of any advisory notes also means there is no historical evidence of pre-existing concerns that may have been addressed between tests, leaving some components untested for extended periods. The recorded mileage of 18,558 miles over five years—roughly 3,712 miles annually—is notably low for a vehicle of this age, particularly given the Crossstar’s typical usage patterns. The gap between the May 2024 (12,214 miles) and May 2025 (18,558 miles) tests shows a consistent but slow accumulation of mileage, suggesting the car has spent significant periods either lightly used or stationary. Such low mileage can mask underlying issues, as components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers may degrade slowly without the stress of higher mileage. Conversely, it also reduces wear on consumables like tyres and brake pads, though this does not guarantee their current condition. Given the clean MOT record, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should be the suspension and steering components, which are often overlooked in low-mileage vehicles. Check for excessive play in the steering rack, worn suspension bushes, or uneven tyre wear that could indicate misalignment or failing dampers. The brakes, while not flagged in tests, should be examined for uneven pad thickness or glazed discs, as binding calipers or corrosion in the brake system might not have manifested in the MOT process. Additionally, inspect the underbody for corrosion around the wheel arches, sills, and exhaust system, as prolonged stationary periods can accelerate rust development in critical structural areas. The CVT transmission should also be assessed for smooth engagement and any unusual noises, as fluid degradation can occur even with low mileage if the vehicle has been stored without regular use.
