Hi Guys, I'm about to go sign for a 2012 HONDA JAZZ 1.3 COMFORT CVT, mileage 170,000km cvt oil done at 120,000km full Honda service record.

Is there anything I should be looking out for on these vehicles?
It has some interior wear on the drivers seat and carpet but generally clean all round and seems to drive nicely.

CVT oil change overdue (UK spec says every 25 k miles 40k kms).
Check electric wing mirrors work - if fitted.
Front anti roll bar bushes wear.

Apart from the CVT oil pretty minor things, nothing hectically expensive to repair

I got it!
It's a pretty big leap above the Gen 1 CVT, much more refined and the CVT seems much quieter.
What a stunning vehicle, it drives so nice

Great stuff. I hope it gives you many safe and reliable Kms.

Can't wait to hit the road and did I mention the fuel economy

From my current ride to the Jazz I'm going to be saving a good 3.5L per 100km
Also thanks for all your help over the last few weeks on the various threads, much obliged
