Our Verdict
This is a highly recommended example of
Given the low mileage, your primary focus should be on verifying that the service intervals have been strictly adhered to, as low-mileage cars can sometimes suffer from neglected maintenance. Check the service book for regular oil changes, which are vital for the 1.5L petrol engine.
When viewing, ask for evidence of recent tyre replacements, as the 2023 MOT noted cracking on both front tyres. While these appear to have been addressed, it is worth checking the tread depth and manufacture date on the current set. Additionally, ensure the brake discs and pads are in good order, as these are common failure points for this model across the wider fleet.
The 1496cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making this a cost-effective option for urban driving. You can expect competitive fuel economy, though actual figures will depend on your driving style and load.
Insurance groups for the Mazda 2 are typically moderate, and tax bands for this 1.5L engine are generally affordable. Maintenance costs should be relatively predictable, though you should budget for routine items like tyres and brakes, which are noted as common replacement items for this model.
Start by inspecting the tyres; the 2023 MOT history specifically flagged cracking/perishing on both front tyres, so ensure the current set is fresh and not showing signs of age-related degradation.
Secondly, perform a thorough check of the suspension and braking components. Aggregate data for this model shows that suspension arms and brake discs are frequent MOT failure reasons. Listen for any knocks or rattles when driving over uneven surfaces and check for any excessive play in the steering or wobbles when braking.

The MOT history is largely clean, with the only recorded issue being tyre perish in 2023. The most recent test in October 2025 showed no defects, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a consistent state of repair.
The Mazda 2 has an average MOT pass rate of 79.7% across the 127,858 vehicles analysed, with suspension and braking components being the most frequent areas of concern.
