2019 Mazda 2 1.5L Petrol · BW68 NWH

The most recent MOT test on 24 February 2026 at 33,380 miles passed with zero defects, indicating the vehicle currently meets all DVSA roadworthiness standards. The maintenance trend is broadly stable and shows recent improvement. Earlier tests repeatedly flagged tyre condition issues, but the latest clean result suggests the owner addressed those consumable defects promptly. No structural, mechanical, or braking faults have ever appeared on the record, which is a positive sign for long-term care. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2019 vehicle. Between the first recorded test on 5 January 2022 at 10,014 miles and the most recent on 24 February 2026 at 33,380 miles, the car covered roughly 23,366 miles over just over four years, averaging around 5,800 miles annually in that window. The earlier years appear even quieter, with only 1,327 miles added between January 2022 and February 2023. Such low use can reduce wear on drivetrain and suspension components, but prolonged standing periods may cause perished tyres and dried seals, which aligns with the recurring tyre advisories seen in 2023 and 2024. The most persistent theme in the record is tyre deterioration. Cracking and perishing appeared on both front and rear tyres in January 2024 at 19,337 miles, and both front tyres were flagged for slight perishing as early as February 2023 at 11,341 miles. The offside rear tyre was worn close to the legal limit in January 2025 at 28,906 miles. These repeated advisories suggest the vehicle spent extended periods stationary, causing sidewall degradation rather than mileage-driven wear. A buyer should inspect all four tyres carefully, checking the date codes to confirm they are from the same batch and examining sidewalls for any fresh cracking or bulging. The January 2022 test at 10,014 miles noted undertrays fitted that prevented full inspection of the underside. This is common and not inherently concerning, but it means no official assessment of subframe corrosion, suspension mounting points, or exhaust condition was possible at that stage. Given the low mileage and clean recent result, the risk of serious structural corrosion is reduced, but a prospective buyer should still arrange an independent inspection of the underside, paying close attention to suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake components that may have deteriorated from standing rather than use.
