2023 Honda Jazz Crosstar EX I-MMD CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric · AO23 CJF

The most recent MOT carried out on 20 February 2026 recorded a full pass with no recorded defects or advisories. With only a single MOT entry available, the lack of any failures or advisory notes suggests that, to date, the vehicle has been maintained to a level that meets the statutory roadworthiness standards. In the absence of prior failures, the trend can be regarded as stable rather than deteriorating, and there is no indication of emerging mechanical issues from the MOT data. At three years old the Honda Jazz Crosstar has logged 13 467 miles, which works out to roughly 4 500 miles per annum. This is considerably below the UK average annual mileage and points to relatively light usage. Low annual mileage can be a positive sign of reduced wear on consumables such as brake pads, clutch components and tyre tread, but it may also indicate that the car has spent extended periods stationary. Prolonged standing can lead to battery sulphation, tyre sidewall perishing, and the gradual corrosion of suspension bushings and brake disc surfaces, even when the mileage is modest. For a prospective buyer the first visual inspection should focus on the condition of the tyres. Verify that the tread depth exceeds 1.6 mm and examine the sidewalls for any cracking, dry rot or bulging, as rubber can degrade with age irrespective of mileage. Check the tyre manufacture dates; if the tyres are more than six years old they may be approaching the end of their service life and should be replaced regardless of tread wear. While the car is likely to have a healthy battery given its recent MOT, a low‑voltage test or a load test is advisable, especially if the vehicle has been stored for long periods, to confirm that the 12‑volt lead‑acid unit has not suffered from sulphation or reduced capacity. Finally, inspect the braking system for any signs of surface corrosion on the discs and for uneven pad wear, which can develop when a vehicle sits idle for months. During a short test drive listen for any judder or pulsation when applying the brakes, and feel for any pull to one side that could indicate a sticking caliper. Examine the suspension components—particularly the front and rear control arm bushes, shock absorbers and anti‑roll bar links—for cracks, oil leakage or excessive play, as rubber elements can harden and lose compliance over time. Verify that the service book shows regular oil and filter changes, coolant flushes and CVT fluid checks at the manufacturer‑recommended intervals; if the documentation is missing, plan for a comprehensive fluid change and a diagnostic check of the CVT system before committing to purchase.
