2018 Mazda 2 1.5L Petrol · AB16 AGK

The 2018 Mazda 2 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 5 July 2025 at 27,477 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and every annual examination since 2021 has done the same. No advisories or failures appear across the five-year DVSA history, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work at any test stage. The mileage pattern shows exceptionally light use for an eight-year-old car. The record opened at 5,469 miles on 13 July 2021 and climbed to 7,369 miles by 19 July 2022, then 15,199 miles on 17 July 2023, 21,393 miles on 18 July 2024, and 27,477 miles on 5 July 2025. That averages roughly 3,435 miles per year. The clean sweep of passes with no flagged wear items suggests the prior keeper serviced the car to a standard that kept tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, and exhaust emissions within limits, though the sparse defect data gives little detail on component condition. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the low annual mileage, as prolonged standing can promote rust unseen by the tester. The brake calipers and coil springs warrant a physical check for binding or fatigue despite no MOT advisories. Verify service history independently, since the test record alone confirms compliance but not routine fluid changes or timing belt intervals.
