2022 Honda Jazz Crosstar EX I-MMD CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric · YN72 WEC

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 3 September 2025 with no defects recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend and suggests that the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets the required safety and environmental standards without the need for remedial work at the time of testing. The absence of any advisories suggests that the primary wear-and-tear components were well within acceptable limits during the last official inspection. The recorded mileage of 10,657 miles is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 2,664 miles per year. While low mileage generally implies minimal wear on the drivetrain and interior, it often indicates that the car has spent significant periods stationary. This usage profile can be more detrimental to certain components than regular motorway mileage, as it increases the risk of fluid degradation and the seizing of mechanical parts. Given the clean MOT history and low usage, the primary concern for a buyer is the effect of time rather than mechanical wear. A physical inspection should focus on the tyres; check the sidewalls for fine cracking or perishing, as rubber degrades with age regardless of remaining tread depth. The brake system requires close scrutiny for signs of binding calipers or surface corrosion on the brake discs, which can occur when a vehicle sits for extended periods. During a test drive, listen for any unusual grinding or shuddering under braking, which would suggest the discs have not been kept clean by regular use. Attention must also be paid to the 12V auxiliary battery and the overall service history. Low-mileage hybrid vehicles can suffer from battery discharge if not driven regularly, so verify the battery health and check for any history of replacements. Furthermore, ensure the vehicle has adhered to a calendar-based service schedule rather than a mileage-based one. Engine oil and other essential fluids degrade over time due to oxidation and moisture buildup, so verify that the service book stamps confirm annual oil changes to ensure the long-term health of the i-MMD powertrain.
