Flatspotted tyres, flat battery, corrosion on the brake discs and inside the exhaust system, condensation damage, will need fresh brake fluid and, if it's a CVT, needs fresh transmission fluid.

Neatly styled. Increased room and better performance than original Jazz. better to drive. Very versatile. CVT-7 returned in February 2011 replacing i-SHIFT. More reliable than first generation Jazz.
