2020 Honda Jazz EX I-MMD CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · LJ70 XKZ

A clean MOT record with no recorded failures across four annual tests positions this 2020 Honda Jazz as a vehicle that has, to date, met the statutory safety and emissions standards consistently; the only deviation is a single advisory concerning near‑side front tyre wear noted in the 2025 test, and the most recent September 2026 inspection was passed without comment. This pattern suggests stable overall condition, with no recurring defects or progressive deterioration evident in the official history. The odometer reads 23,031 miles after roughly six years of service, averaging just under 4,000 miles per year – considerably below the typical UK usage rate for a car of this age. Such low annual accumulation generally translates to reduced wear on high‑frequency components such as brake pads, clutch plates and CVT internals, but it can also imply periods of limited use where rubber components and seals may age without the benefit of regular heating cycles. No gaps appear in the MOT chronology, indicating the vehicle has been tested each year without interruption. Given the front tyre advisory, a prospective buyer should verify the current tread depth on the nearside front tyre, ensuring it remains above the legal 1.6 mm minimum and is reasonably even across the tread width. Look for signs of sidewall cracking, bulging or uneven wear that could point to mis‑alignment or suspension irregularities. While the MOT did not flag any suspension issues, a quick visual check of the front suspension arms, ball joints and bushings for corrosion or looseness, and a brief drive over a speed bump to feel for any clunking, will confirm that the tyre wear was not symptomatic of a deeper alignment problem. Beyond the tyre focus, a comprehensive pre‑purchase inspection remains advisable. The CVT should be examined for any oil leaks around the pump and for the condition of the fluid, while the brake system should be checked for pad thickness, disc wear and any pedal pulsation that might not have been captured in the MOT. Listening for any whine or judder from the transmission during acceleration, and feeling for any pull or vibration in the steering, will help ensure that the vehicle’s low‑mileage advantage is not offset by hidden wear in these critical areas.
