2018 Mazda 2 1.5L Petrol · OW18 ABX

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a perfectly consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 29 July 2025 at 13,766 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical and structural components meet current standards. This stable trend suggests the vehicle has been maintained well and has not suffered significant mechanical failures or structural degradation throughout its service life. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old car, averaging approximately 1,720 miles per year. Between July 2021 and July 2025, the vehicle covered only 7,165 miles, which reflects very light usage. The intervals between tests are regular, such as the 506-mile increase between 2024 and 2025, showing a predictable usage profile. While this low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension, it can sometimes lead to secondary issues if the vehicle sits for long periods without movement. Given the lack of recorded mechanical faults, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-use storage. The tester should check the brake discs for surface spotting or corrosion caused by sitting, and the tyres should be examined for flat spots or sidewall cracking which occurs due to age rather than tread depth. Inspect the rubber bushes and suspension components for signs of perish rot, as these materials can degrade over time even if the mileage remains low.
