2021 Honda Jazz EX I-MMD CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · LD70 AED

The Honda Jazz in question presents a clean and stable MOT history, with the most recent test on 23 December 2025 at 37,207 miles showing no defects—just a single advisory for a minor wiper blade wear issue. The preceding tests on 6 January 2025 (35,231 miles) and 10 January 2024 (30,372 miles) also passed without any recorded defects, indicating consistent roadworthiness and no signs of worsening mechanical or structural issues. The absence of recurring advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard, at least in terms of the core safety-critical components assessed during MOTs. That said, the lack of advisories could also imply the previous owner prioritised passing the test over addressing minor wear items, so a closer inspection of consumables and less obvious wear points remains prudent. The mileage accumulation of 7,441 miles per year aligns closely with the average for a five-year-old vehicle, neither excessively high nor suspiciously low. The gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests —spanning nearly a full year—is typical for a well-maintained car, though the 2025 tests (January and December) are unusually close together, suggesting the vehicle may have been kept for a short-term rental, lease, or fleet use before resale. There’s no evidence of rapid mileage spikes or prolonged inactivity, which would otherwise raise concerns about suspension wear, battery health, or fluid degradation. The consistency in mileage suggests steady, moderate use rather than sporadic or aggressive driving. For a prospective buyer, the primary focus should be on components not routinely checked during MOTs but critical to long-term reliability. Given the clean history, attention should turn to the CVT transmission fluid , which should be inspected for discolouration or burning odour—especially given the higher-than-average mileage for its age. The suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for hardening or cracking, as these are less frequently flagged in MOTs but can degrade silently. The brake system , while not mentioned in the records, warrants a thorough inspection: test for uneven pedal feel, binding calipers, or glazed brake discs, as these issues can develop between tests. Finally, the exhaust system should be scanned for leaks or corrosion, particularly around the mounts and catalytic converter, as these are prone to hidden wear in lower-mileage urban-driven vehicles. The absence of MOT advisories is a positive sign, but these areas often reveal the true state of a car’s upkeep.
