2018 MAZDA 21.5L Petrol

The 2018 Mazda 2 with 62,336 miles is currently roadworthy, as confirmed by its most recent MOT on 2025-06-10, which recorded no defects. The maintenance trend remains stable, with all tests from 2022 to 2025 showing passing results and no recurring mechanical issues. The 2023-04-27 entry lists a failed test at 35,783 miles, but no defects were recorded, suggesting a potential data inconsistency or procedural error. No structural corrosion, suspension failures, or brake system faults are documented, indicating the vehicle has been maintained to acceptable standards. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging 7,792 miles annually. A notable jump from 21,817 miles (2022-05-12) to 35,783 miles (2023-04-27) reflects a 14,000-mile increase within 11 months, which may indicate periods of heavy use or infrequent MOT testing. Subsequent tests show gradual accumulation, reaching 50,757 miles by 2024-04-22 and 62,336 miles in 2025. The absence of advisories for wear items like tyres or brake discs suggests routine checks were prioritized, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits deeper analysis. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade with mileage. The absence of brake-related issues in MOT records is reassuring, but a physical inspection of calipers and discs is recommended to confirm no hidden corrosion or uneven wear. Structural integrity remains unchallenged, with no signs of rust or panel damage recorded. The 2023 test anomaly—failing without defects—warrants clarification, but the overall history supports a mechanically sound used vehicle.
