2020 Honda Jazz EX I-MMD CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · DN20 WFO

The Honda Jazz in question presents a stable roadworthiness record over its recent MOT history, with no defects logged in any of the four tests spanning from July 2023 to May 2025. The most recent assessment in May 2025 at 37,305 miles passed without issue, though the immediate prior test on May 10, 2025, at 37,304 miles failed—an anomaly with no recorded defects, suggesting a possible administrative error or tester oversight. The absence of recurring advisories or failures on critical components such as brakes, suspension, or structural integrity indicates the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard in these areas. No patterns of deterioration emerge; the clean MOT history implies either meticulous servicing or, more likely, a combination of reliable engineering and responsible ownership. Mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical expectations for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging around 6,218 miles per annum. The gap between the October 2024 test (36,602 miles) and the July 2023 test (31,092 miles) covers roughly 5,510 miles over 11 months, which is consistent with the overall trend. The minimal mileage increase between the two 2025 tests—just one mile—further suggests the car may have been stored or used very lightly in the weeks leading up to the failed MOT, though this is speculative without additional context. The data is sparse but free of red flags; there’s no evidence of excessive wear or neglect. Given the absence of defects or advisories in the MOT history, a prospective buyer should still conduct a thorough pre-purchase inspection, focusing on components not routinely covered by MOT tests. Particular attention should be paid to the CVT transmission fluid condition, as automatic transmissions in this model are known for fluid degradation over time despite no MOT requirement. The suspension—specifically the front lower arm bushes and rear coil springs—should be checked for wear, even though no MOT flags suggest issues. Binding calipers or uneven brake disc thickness could indicate neglected maintenance, though the clean history makes this less likely. A visual inspection for corrosion in wheel arches, sills, and underbody panels is prudent, especially given the vehicle’s age, even if no MOT tester has noted structural concerns. The exhaust system and emissions should also be verified, as modern petrol engines like the i-MMD can develop subtle leaks or catalytic converter inefficiencies that aren’t always caught in standard MOT checks.
