2021 Honda Jazz EX I-MMD CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric · LD71 DYA

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 26 November 2025, which remains in force until 25 November 2026. While the final outcome was a pass, the initial failure on the same day regarding an electronic stability control warning lamp indicates a significant electrical or sensor-related fault that required immediate rectification. This suggests that while the vehicle is currently roadworthy, the underlying electronic system experienced a failure that could potentially reoccur or mask deeper issues within the hybrid control modules. The recorded mileage of 16,555 miles over a five-year period equates to an annual average of approximately 3,311 miles, confirming a pattern of light, sporadic usage. The interval between the September 2024 test at 12,634 miles and the November 2025 test shows a period of roughly 14 months where the vehicle covered under 4,000 miles. Such low-mileage profiles often lead to premature degradation of rubber components and battery health, as the vehicle likely spent extended periods stationary rather than undergoing regular heat cycles. Prospective buyers should prioritise a thorough inspection of the electronic stability control system to ensure the previous fault was resolved through genuine component replacement rather than a temporary reset. Given the low mileage, inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, as binding calipers often manifest in vehicles that sit for months at a time. The windscreen wiper failure noted in the 2025 test is a minor consumable issue, but it serves as a reminder to verify that all rubber seals and blades remain supple and effective. Check the suspension bushes and tyres for signs of perishing, as low-mileage examples frequently suffer from age-related hardening of these critical components despite the low wear on the tread patterns.
