2018 Mazda 2 SE 1.5L Petrol · JGZ 2097

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test on 13 March 2026 at 70,700 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. This streak of perfect passes across the last four annual tests suggests that the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical and safety-related requirements before they could reach a point of failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per annum. Between the 2022 test at 36,079 miles and the 2024 test at 52,809 miles, the car covered over 16,000 miles, showing a steady usage profile. The more recent interval of 17,891 miles between February 2024 and March 2026 maintains this regular interval, which helps prevent the corrosion often associated with long periods of standing. Because the MOT record shows no recurring advisories or failures regarding structural integrity or braking, an inspection should focus on standard consumable wear typical for this mileage. At 70,700 miles, a buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components often show wear just before an MOT failure occurs. Checking the brake discs for thinning or uneven pad wear is also prudent, as the MOT only tests for performance rather than the remaining life of the components.
