2022 Honda Jazz SR I-MMD CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · DX22 OJO

A clean bill of roadworthiness at the most recent test on 12 March 2026, with no advisories or defects recorded, marks the strongest evidence available in the DVSA file for this Honda Jazz. Prior to that, however, the 2025 test pass came accompanied by a cluster of advisories on the front axle, specifically worn and pitted front brake discs on both sides and front tyres worn close to the legal limit on both edges. The pattern indicates that the front braking and tyre components were approaching the end of their useful service life in early 2025, and that these items may have been attended to in the intervening twelve months given the clean retest. Any prospective purchaser should treat the sudden absence of those advisories not as proof of new components, but as a reason to verify their actual condition directly. With 47,556 miles recorded against a four-year-old car, annual accumulation works out at roughly 11,889 miles per year, which sits squarely within the expected band for a vehicle of this age and class. There are no gaps in the testing history that would suggest the car was laid up for extended periods, and the mileage progression between the two recorded tests is consistent with steady, regular use rather than long stationary spells or unusually high motorway accumulation. Mechanically, this kind of usage tends to mean even wear across consumables and a reasonable state of internal drivetrain components, though the brake and tyre wear noted in 2025 is consistent with a car that has seen its fair share of urban and stop-start driving, where the front axle takes the brunt of deceleration. Given that the 2025 advisories centred on the front discs and front tyres, the test drive should focus squarely on those areas. On the move, listen for any brake squeal, grinding, or pulsation through the pedal under firm stopping, as pitted discs that have been machined or replaced can sometimes resurface vibration if not skimmed properly. Check both front tyres for uneven shoulder wear, feathering, or any sign of camber misalignment, since edge wear was specifically flagged and can recur if suspension geometry has been disturbed. Beyond the flagged items, the Honda Jazz i-MMD hybrid system is otherwise largely unrecorded in this file, so verify smooth transitions between electric and petrol drive, and confirm there are no warning lights illuminated on the dashboard. It is also worth probing the secondary mechanicals that the MOT does not directly cover. With this mileage, inspect the underside for any signs of fluid seepage from the power steering rack, check the rear brake discs and pads for wear given that the front items were already heavily used in 2025, and examine the suspension links and bushes for play by pushing laterally on each front wheel with the car jacked. Confirm the CVT transmission changes gear smoothly without hesitation or flare, and that the hybrid system engages without prolonged warning messages. While the DVSA record itself is short and largely favourable, the front-axle advisories from 2025 represent the only objective evidence of wear, and verifying that those concerns have been properly resolved is the most important step before committing to purchase.
