2016 Mazda 2 1.5L Petrol · CV16 ADO

The vehicle exhibits a stable roadworthiness profile, with all five consecutive MOT tests from 2021 to 2025 recording no defects. The most recent 2025 test at 56,622 miles confirmed compliance, reinforcing a consistent maintenance record. No advisories or failures are documented across the 10-year span, indicating the previous owner prioritized regular servicing. The absence of recurring issues suggests the car has been well-maintained, though the low mileage of 5,662 annual miles raises questions about potential storage conditions or infrequent use. The mileage progression shows steady annual accumulation, with no abrupt increases or extended gaps between tests. From 36,331 miles in 2021 to 56,622 in 2025, the vehicle has covered 20,291 miles over four years, aligning with the 5,662-mile average. This pattern implies controlled usage, though the lack of higher mileage may limit wear assessment on components like tyres, suspension bushes, or brake discs. The consistent MOT passes without advisories suggest no hidden deterioration, but the low mileage could mask age-related degradation in rubber or electrical systems. A buyer should verify the condition of the suspension, particularly the rear coil springs and shock absorbers, as these components are critical for stability and may degrade over time without regular use. The brake system, including calipers and discs, should also be inspected for corrosion or uneven wear, as low mileage can lead to seized components. While the MOT history shows no structural rust or emission issues, a physical check of the exhaust system and underbody is recommended to confirm the absence of hidden corrosion, which might not surface in standard tests.
