2023 Mazda 2 1.5L Petrol · MC72 ADO

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT in January 2026, although this was only achieved after a failure on the same day. The failure was caused by the offside front outer brake pads being critically thin and the corresponding brake disc being worn, pitted, or scored. The primary mechanical pattern identified is significant wear to the front braking system. While these defects were rectified to secure the pass, the condition of the disc suggests the brakes had been worn down considerably before the repair was made. The recorded mileage of 26,233 miles over approximately three years is typical for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 8,744 miles per year. This suggests a standard usage pattern, neither indicating excessive hard use nor suggesting the car has suffered from long periods of standing. Because the MOT history is limited, there is not enough evidence to determine if the vehicle's overall condition is worsening or improving. The history is mostly clean, with the exception of the recent brake issues. A buyer should first inspect the front brake discs and pads to ensure the replacements are in good condition and check for any uneven wear across the other wheels.
