2022 Honda Jazz EX I-MMD CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · NL72 OLT

A low-mileage usage profile defines this vehicle, which shows a single recorded MOT test from 21 October 2025 resulting in a pass. The primary mechanical concern identified in the latest inspection involves the front tyres, with advisories issued for both the nearside and offside front tyres being worn close to the legal limit and showing uneven wear on the edges. This indicates that while the vehicle has passed its most recent test, the front axle consumables are reaching the end of their serviceable life and require immediate attention. The recorded mileage of 16,924 miles over approximately four years represents an average annual accumulation of roughly 4,231 miles. This is significantly lower than the UK national average, suggesting the vehicle has been used for short-distance or infrequent trips. Mechanically, such low annual mileage can sometimes lead to uneven tyre wear if the vehicle is frequently driven on specific routes or if wheel alignment has drifted due to infrequent cornering or road surface impacts. It also means that components like brakes and suspension may have experienced less cumulative mechanical wear than a higher-mileage equivalent, though they may be subject to different degradation patterns from periods of inactivity. During a test drive, particular attention should be paid to the steering response and the vehicle's tracking. Because the MOT advisories specifically mention tyres being worn on the edges, you should check for any pulling to one side when the steering wheel is released on a level road surface. Any wandering sensation or a lack of straight-line stability could indicate that the uneven tyre wear is a symptom of underlying suspension or steering geometry issues, such as worn bushes or misaligned tie rods. Furthermore, listen for any rhythmic thumping or increased road noise coming from the front of the vehicle, which can occur when tyre tread depth becomes inconsistent or when the rubber has degraded. Given the advisory regarding the edge wear, it is essential to verify if the wear is consistent across both front tyres or if one side is significantly more advanced, as this would confirm a tracking fault. Ensure the steering feels centered and that there is no vibration through the steering wheel at varying speeds, which would necessitate a professional four-wheel alignment and replacement of the front tyres.
