2022 Honda Jazz EX I-MMD CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · YF22 CCA

The most recent MOT, carried out on 13 April 2026, was passed with no recorded defects, and the preceding test on 6 June 2025 also returned a clean result. This uninterrupted record of passing examinations indicates that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that satisfies the DVSA’s safety and emissions criteria, and there is no evidence of a deteriorating trend in the core mechanical or environmental systems. At four years old the Jazz has logged only 15,760 miles, which works out to just under 4,000 miles per annum. Such low annual mileage suggests the car has been used lightly, possibly for short commutes or occasional trips, rather than subjected to high‑stress, long‑distance driving. Light usage generally reduces wear on consumables such as brake pads, clutch plates, and tyre tread, but it can also mean the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary, a condition that can promote rubber perishing, battery sulphation and corrosion of brake components that are not regularly exercised. When inspecting the car, give particular attention to the condition of the tyres; even with modest mileage the rubber can degrade with age, so look for sidewall cracking, hardening of the tread, and verify that the tread depth meets the legal minimum. Examine the 12‑volt battery for signs of sulphation or reduced cranking power, especially if the vehicle has been stored for long intervals, and consider a load test or a voltage check after a short drive. The CVT system on the Jazz is serviced on a time‑based schedule, so confirm that the manufacturer‑specified fluid change has been performed within the last 24 months or 15,000 miles, whichever comes first, and inspect the under‑tray for any oil leaks that could indicate a failing seal. Finally, assess the suspension and steering components for any signs of ageing – rubber bushings can become brittle and develop play, leading to clunking noises over bumps, while coil springs may show corrosion if the car has been exposed to damp conditions. Check the brake discs for surface rust or scoring, which can cause shudder when applied after the car has sat, and ensure the calipers move freely without binding. A thorough visual inspection of the under‑body for rust, especially around the wheel arches and sills, will reveal whether prolonged inactivity has allowed corrosion to develop. Confirm that the service book contains regular oil changes, filter replacements and any scheduled CVT fluid changes, as a complete service history will reinforce the confidence provided by the clean MOT record.
