2016 Mazda 2 1.5L Petrol · CX16 EKA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass record over the last four years. The most recent test on 30 May 2025 at 70,419 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a brief technical failure just six days prior at 70,411 miles. This initial failure with no recorded defects suggests a minor, non-mechanical compliance issue, such as a blown bulb or a temporary sensor fault, which was rectified immediately before the re-test. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. Between the July 2022 test at 44,061 miles and the May 2025 test at 70,419 miles, the car covered 26,358 miles, indicating steady and predictable usage patterns. There are no significant gaps in the history or rapid accumulation that would suggest long periods of stationary storage followed by accelerated wear on rubber components or braking systems. Because the MOT history is clean of structural advisories or recurring mechanical failures, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related degradation. At 70,000 miles, examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or corrosion, as these are not always flagged until failure. Check the brake discs for surface pitting and ensure the calipers move freely, as the record does not indicate any previous issues with the braking system.
