2022 Honda Jazz SR I-MMD CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · NC71 AED

This Honda Jazz SR i-MMD has demonstrated a stable and clean roadworthiness record over the past year, with the most recent MOT on 20 May 2025 at 21,170 miles passing without any defects. The absence of advisories or failures across three consecutive tests—including the 19 December 2024 and 13 January 2025 checks—suggests the vehicle has been well maintained in critical areas such as brakes, suspension, emissions, and structural integrity. The CVT transmission, a common weak point in this model, has not been flagged for irregularities, and there are no signs of neglect in core mechanical systems. However, the short interval between the 15,016-mile and 15,467-mile tests (just 451 miles over 37 days ) indicates the car may have been stored or used very lightly, which could mask underlying wear. The mileage pattern is unusually low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging just 5,292 miles per year —well below the UK average for its age group. The gap between the 2024 December and 2025 January tests (a 27-day period ) covers only 451 miles , reinforcing the likelihood of minimal or intermittent use. Such low mileage reduces wear on consumables like tyres, brake pads, and suspension components, but it also means the CVT fluid, battery condition, and rubber seals may not have been stressed enough to reveal potential long-term issues. Without a full service history, it’s impossible to confirm whether fluids have been changed on schedule, but the MOT record alone shows no evidence of deferred maintenance. For a buyer, the priority should be a thorough inspection of the CVT transmission —checking for unusual noises, delayed engagement, or fluid leaks, as these can develop slowly even with low mileage. The braking system should be tested for consistent pedal feel, as binding calipers or uneven disc wear could emerge without frequent use. Suspension components , particularly the front lower arms and rear coil springs, should be examined for stiffness or excessive play, given that underused vehicles can develop stiffness in bushings. Finally, while the MOT record is flawless, a pre-purchase check of the exhaust system for rust or leaks and the underbody for corrosion is advisable, as low-mileage cars are sometimes left unused in exposed conditions. The battery and electrical systems —including the i-MMD hybrid components—should also be verified, as hybrid systems can degrade even with minimal driving.
