2021 Honda Jazz SR I-MMD CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · HJ71 NWF

The Honda Jazz presents a stable and reassuring maintenance trend. The most recent MOT, conducted on 9 December 2025 at 10,570 miles, passed with zero defects recorded, indicating the vehicle met all roadworthiness standards at that point. The preceding test on 9 December 2024 at 5,110 miles also passed cleanly with no advisories or failures. This consecutive pattern of defect-free certificates suggests consistent upkeep and no emerging mechanical or structural concerns. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle. Between the December 2024 test at 5,110 miles and the December 2025 test at 10,570 miles, the car covered 5,460 miles in twelve months. This represents a significant increase compared to the preceding period, where the vehicle had only reached 5,110 miles by its first MOT at roughly three years old, implying very light initial use or prolonged periods of standing. A buyer should be aware that extended periods of inactivity can lead to issues such as flat-spotted tyres, brake disc surface corrosion, or stale fuel, though the clean MOT record suggests these have not manifested as defects. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection remains essential. The Jazz's i-MMD hybrid system uses regenerative braking, which can sometimes mask underlying brake issues or lead to binding calipers if the vehicle is predominantly driven on short urban trips. A test drive should specifically assess brake feel and any pulling under braking. Suspension components, including front lower suspension arms and rear beam bushes, should be inspected for perishing, as low-mileage vehicles can still suffer from age-related rubber deterioration rather than wear. The lack of structural corrosion or emissions advisories in the record is encouraging for a vehicle of this age. Prospective buyers should still inspect the underbody and subframe for surface corrosion, particularly if the car has been stored on grass or in a coastal environment. The 12-volt auxiliary battery, common in hybrids that see short journeys, deserves a voltage check, as a failing auxiliary battery can trigger unexpected electrical faults not always captured during an MOT.
