2022 Honda Jazz EX I-MMD CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric · YN22 XRG

The most recent MOT test conducted on 17 March 2026 resulted in a pass, with only a minor advisory regarding windscreen damage that does not currently obstruct the driver's view. Comparing this to the previous year's record, the maintenance trend appears stable. While the 2025 test highlighted several advisories concerning tyre wear on the edges and a cut to the offside front tyre, the absence of these issues in the 2026 test suggests that these consumables were replaced or addressed. The transition from tyre-related advisories to a minor windscreen defect indicates that the vehicle is being monitored and maintained, with no evidence of escalating mechanical or structural deterioration. With a recorded mileage of 27,921 miles at approximately four years of age, the vehicle has covered an average of roughly 6,980 miles per year. This level of usage is considered low to moderate and is well within the typical parameters for a modern hybrid vehicle. This usage profile is generally beneficial as it suggests the vehicle is driven frequently enough to keep the hybrid battery and internal combustion engine components active, reducing the risk of fluid stagnation or battery degradation associated with long periods of inactivity. However, the mileage is low enough that the buyer should still be mindful of age-related wear on rubber components and fluids that may degrade over time regardless of distance travelled. Given the previous advisories regarding tyre wear on the edges and a cut to the offside front tyre, a prospective buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the current tyre condition. Check the tread depth across the entire width of the tyre to ensure there is no uneven wear, which could indicate a compromised wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes. During the test drive, listen for any clunking or knocking from the front end, particularly when navigating uneven surfaces, as this could relate to the previous tyre wear patterns. Additionally, inspect the windscreen for any chips or cracks that may have expanded since the last MOT, as these can quickly become significant safety issues under thermal stress. Beyond the recorded history, the buyer should perform age-appropriate checks relevant to a low-mileage hybrid. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for any signs of perishing or cracking, which can occur even if tread depth is sufficient. It is also advisable to verify the service history to ensure that scheduled maintenance, such as oil changes and brake fluid replacements, has been carried out according to the manufacturer's intervals, as these are critical for the longevity of the i-MMD hybrid system. Finally, check for any signs of corrosion on the brake discs or binding calipers, which can sometimes occur on vehicles that are not driven heavily, and ensure the 12V battery is in good health to support the hybrid electronics.
