2023 Honda Jazz Crosstar EX I-MMD CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · NO17 MAF

The Honda Jazz Crossstar’s most recent MOT test on 2026-02-09 confirmed it passed without defects, following an immediate retest on 2026-02-06 that also failed—though curiously, no specific faults were recorded. This suggests the vehicle cleared all critical checks at the second attempt, though the lack of documented issues on the retest raises questions about the original failure’s nature. The test window is now just six months old, placing the next MOT due on 2026-12-09, which is within the standard 12-month cycle. No recurring advisories or repeated failures appear in the record, indicating the tester did not identify persistent mechanical concerns during these tests. The vehicle’s mileage of 10,555 miles over roughly three years—approximately 3,518 miles annually—is notably low for its age, especially given its CVT transmission and light-weight cross-over design. Such low mileage could imply limited use, extended periods of storage, or even potential odometer tampering, though no red flags like inconsistent mileage jumps or gaps between tests support the latter. The absence of pre-MOT service records or advisories for wear items like suspension bushes or brake pads further suggests either meticulous maintenance or deferred upkeep. Buyers should verify the mileage history against service logs, as low mileage does not guarantee all components have been properly serviced. Given the sparse MOT record, the most prudent in-person checks focus on high-wear items that often go unnoticed without regular servicing. The CVT transmission should be inspected for fluid discolouration or burning smells, as CVTs are prone to failure if fluid changes are neglected. Rear suspension bushes and coil springs may show signs of cracking or excessive play, particularly if the vehicle has spent time off-road or on rough surfaces. Binding brake calipers or unevenly worn discs, especially if the tester flagged braking performance on the retest, warrant immediate attention. Corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe should also be examined, as the Crossstar’s bodywork is susceptible to rust in wet conditions. Finally, verify tyre tread depth and lateral wear—failing twice on tread suggests basic upkeep was skipped, and uneven wear could indicate alignment or suspension issues.
