2015 Mazda 2 1.5L Petrol · AE15 OOH

The vehicle presents a stable and clean maintenance trend, culminating in a pass with no defects recorded during the most recent MOT on 12 December 2025 at 101,952 miles. This outcome confirms the car currently meets all required safety and emissions standards. The absence of advisories or failures in the last two consecutive tests suggests the previous owner addressed minor wear items proactively, keeping the mechanical and structural integrity intact. At roughly 11 years old with 101,952 miles on the clock, the Mazda 2 averages approximately 9,268 miles per year, which aligns with typical annual usage. The mileage accumulation shows a steady, consistent pattern rather than erratic spikes. Between the 29 March 2023 test at 77,534 miles and the 27 March 2024 test at 86,469 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 8,935 miles. The subsequent year saw an increase of 9,504 miles, reaching 92,448 miles by late December 2024, before adding another 9,504 miles to reach the current 101,952 miles by December 2025. This consistent yearly increment reflects regular, sustained use rather than prolonged standing or excessive short-journey running. Despite the clean MOT record, the anomaly on 28 December 2024 warrants attention. The vehicle failed on that date at 92,448 miles with no defects recorded, only to pass at the exact same mileage two days later on 30 December 2024. This pattern often indicates an aborted test or a failure for a non-standard defect, such as excessive fluid leaks or an unreadable exhaust emissions reading, which was rapidly rectified. A buyer should inspect the engine bay and undercarriage for fresh repairs or residual fluid leaks around the exhaust, engine, and brake lines. Given the age and mileage, a physical inspection should focus on the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for corrosion, as these components degrade over time regardless of MOT pass rates. Checking the structural integrity of the sills and subframes for rust remains prudent for an 11-year-old vehicle.
