2019 Mazda 2 1.5L Petrol · AY69 HPV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the MOT history reveals a reactive maintenance pattern rather than proactive care. The most recent test in September 2025 at 54,760 miles resulted in a failure due to non-functional stop lamps and worn tyres on both axles. While the vehicle passed the immediate re-test, the recurring nature of tyre failures suggests the owner only addresses consumable items when forced by legal requirements. The trend remains stable but concerning regarding basic upkeep. The mileage progression is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. There is a recorded gap of 8,109 miles between October 2023 and September 2024, followed by another 12,927 miles leading into the September 2025 test. This later interval indicates regular use, which is generally beneficial for seals and mechanical components to prevent seizing. However, the rapid increase in mileage during the final year correlates with the accelerated wear observed on tyres and braking components. A buyer should specifically inspect the alignment and suspension geometry, as the record repeatedly flags tyres being worn on the edge across 2023, 2024, and 2025. This persistent issue often points to worn suspension bushes or incorrect tracking settings that have not been rectified. Furthermore, the tester previously noted thin front brake pads at 23,700 miles in early 2023; with no later failure recorded here, the remaining life of the discs and pads should be verified to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service given the current mileage.
