2022 Honda Jazz SR I-MMD CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · HY72 BLV

A recurring theme in the MOT record is the gradual deterioration of the rear tyre condition combined with a nascent issue on the near‑side front wheel bearing, which now shows slight play. The most recent test on 9 September 2026 was a pass, but it retained the bearing advisory and flagged the near‑side rear tyre as approaching the legal tread limit, indicating that wear on the rear axle is accelerating while the front bearing is beginning to develop play. At 40,609 mi the car has logged roughly 10,150 mi per year since its 2022 registration, a mileage rate that sits comfortably within normal private‑use expectations. The MOTs have been carried out annually without any prolonged gaps, suggesting the vehicle has been driven consistently rather than stored for extended periods. This steady accumulation means consumables such as tyres, brakes and suspension components will be subject to typical wear patterns for a vehicle of this age and usage level. For a prospective buyer the rear tyre situation demands immediate attention. Both rear tyres have been recorded with cuts that have not yet reached the ply, and the near‑side tyre is now close to the legal tread depth. Inspect the sidewalls for any deepening of the cuts, bulges or uneven wear, and feel for vibration or a “wobble” at highway speeds, which would signal that replacement is imminent. The slight play noted on the near‑side front wheel bearing should be checked by listening for a humming or grinding noise that changes with vehicle speed and by feeling for any looseness or wobble when the wheel is rocked at the 12 o’clock and 6 o’clock positions; excessive play could lead to premature bearing failure if not addressed. The headlamp aim failure recorded in 2025 was a one‑off failure that has not re‑appeared, but it is prudent to verify that the off‑side headlamp is now correctly aligned and that the beam pattern is even across both sides. A thorough pre‑purchase inspection should also include a visual check of the wheel bearing housing for any signs of leakage or corrosion, and a brief road test to confirm that steering remains steady and that there is no judder under braking. Addressing the tyre cuts and monitoring the bearing play will be the primary items to resolve before the car can be considered reliably roadworthy.
