2022 Honda Jazz EX I-MMD CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric · GY22 GYX

The most recent MOT on 14 April 2026 was passed with no recorded defects, following an earlier clean pass on 2 May 2025. With two consecutive years of fault‑free examinations, the maintenance trend appears stable and suggests that any routine servicing required by the manufacturer has been kept up to date. No deterioration or emerging fault pattern is evident from the official records, indicating that the vehicle has been presented in a roadworthy condition at each test. At four years old the Honda Jazz has logged only 10,165 miles, averaging roughly 2,540 miles per annum. This is well below the typical UK average of 7‑10 000 miles per year for a small family car and points to either predominantly short‑haul use or periods of inactivity. Low mileage reduces wear on wear‑items such as brake pads, clutch components and tyre tread, but it can also be a sign that the vehicle has spent extended periods standing, which may encourage rubber perishing, battery sulphation and corrosion of suspension bushings if stored in damp conditions. For a buyer, the first visual inspection should focus on tyre sidewalls for cracking, hardening or loss of elasticity, as ageing rubber can fail even with limited tread wear. Check the tyre tread depth and look for uneven wear that could hint at mis‑aligned suspension or worn steering components. Examine the under‑carriage for any signs of rust, especially around the wheel arches, suspension mounting points and exhaust system, as prolonged storage can accelerate corrosion. Verify the condition of the battery terminals and assess the battery’s state of charge; a 2022 model may have a battery approaching the end of its typical three‑year service life, particularly if the car has been idle for long stretches. Finally, confirm that the service book shows regular oil changes, filter replacements and the scheduled timing‑belt (or timing‑chain) service as per Honda’s recommendations, even if mileage is low. Inspect the brake discs for surface rust or pitting and ensure the calipers move freely without binding, as moisture can cause corrosion on the pistons when a vehicle sits unused. Check fluid levels – engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and the CVT transmission fluid – and be aware that many manufacturers advise fluid replacement on a calendar basis (often every two to three years) regardless of mileage. A thorough test drive listening for any clunk, squeak or shudder, especially over bumps or when applying the brakes, will help confirm that the low‑mileage Jazz remains mechanically sound.
