2021 Mazda 2 Sport NAV Auto 1.5L Petrol · AE70 HDA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in preventative mechanical care. The most recent test in January 2026 at 33,200 miles resulted in a failure due to misaligned headlamps and worn brake components. While the vehicle passed upon immediate retest, the presence of thin brake pads and pitted discs indicates that the previous owner deferred repairs until the inspection failed rather than performing scheduled maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use urban vehicle, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. The record shows a steady progression from 21,366 miles in January 2024 to 27,627 miles in January 2025, and finally 33,200 miles by early 2026. However, the 2025 test noted that engine covers, undertrays, and sill covers were fitted, which prevented a full inspection of the vehicle's structural integrity and potential fluid leaks during that period. A buyer must physically inspect the front braking system to ensure the reported discs and pads were actually replaced following the January 2026 failure. The pitting and scoring on the discs suggest they had been exposed to moisture or prolonged use, which can lead to premature wear if not addressed. Additionally, because the 2025 inspection was obstructed by underbody covers, a manual check of the sills and suspension mounting points is necessary to rule out hidden corrosion that the tester could not verify.
