2023 Honda Jazz Crosstar EX I-MMD CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric · LS23 RYA

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 11 February 2026. As this represents the first mandatory test for a 2023 model, the overall maintenance trend appears stable and positive. The absence of any major failures or structural defects indicates that the vehicle has been kept in a roadworthy condition, with the single advisory being the only point of concern. The recorded mileage of 13,414 miles over approximately three years is significantly lower than the UK average, averaging roughly 4,471 miles per year. While this suggests minimal wear on the i-MMD hybrid drivetrain and interior components, low-mileage vehicles can be subject to different stresses than those used frequently. Short-distance urban journeys or prolonged periods of standing can lead to specific issues such as battery discharge or the accumulation of moisture in the exhaust system. Regarding the specific MOT advisory, the cut in the offside front tyre must be physically inspected. Although the inspector determined the cut had not reached the ply or cords, any sidewall damage can potentially compromise the tyre's structural integrity over time. During a test drive, the buyer should be alert for any unusual vibrations or humming noises from the front axle. Given the safety implications of sidewall damage, replacing this tyre would be a prudent preventative measure to ensure long-term reliability. Because the vehicle has been used infrequently, the buyer should prioritize verifying that servicing has been carried out based on calendar intervals rather than mileage alone. It is essential to check the service history for annual oil and filter changes, as engine lubricants degrade over time regardless of distance travelled. Furthermore, the buyer should inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or binding calipers resulting from inactivity and check the 12V auxiliary battery for signs of health degradation. Finally, a thorough check of all tyre sidewalls for age-related perishing or cracking is recommended to ensure the rubber remains supple and safe.
