Wobbly Jazz

I have a Honda Jazz CVT auto - 56 plate @ 17000 miles. Just bought.

Within days I noticed a wobble sometimes occurring at between 30 - 40 mph as if the body is shimmying side to side. Sometimes occurs at that speed when cornering. Drive through to 50+mph and it disappears. Likewise take foot off the accelerator and the wobble goes. The steering wheel does not wobble or shake. Any ideas?
