2016 Mazda 2 1.5L Petrol · DG16 ADO

The vehicle presents a stable and consistent maintenance profile with no significant mechanical degradation evident from the official records. The most recent test on 18 July 2025 at 47,499 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a series of successful inspections dating back to 2023, suggesting that the vehicle has been kept in a consistent state of roadworthiness without recurring failures in major systems. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2016 model, averaging approximately 4,750 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 32,254 miles in July 2022 to 47,499 miles in July 2025. While the low annual usage suggests light road use, the jump between the 2022 and 2023 tests indicates a period of higher usage compared to the current average. The single failure recorded on 29 July 2022 at 32,250 miles was resolved immediately, as the vehicle passed the retest on the same day, indicating a minor issue was rectified quickly. Because the MOT history is exceptionally clean, there are no specific mechanical trends like worn suspension bushes or corroded exhaust systems to flag. However, vehicles with such low annual mileage often sit idle for extended periods, which can lead to rubber degradation or seized brake calipers. A physical inspection should focus on checking the condition of the tyres for age-related cracking and ensuring the battery and fluids have been maintained despite the low usage. The lack of advisories regarding brake discs or structural integrity over the last three years is a positive indicator. A buyer should still verify that the service history matches this low-mileage profile to ensure that essential lubrication and fluid changes have not been neglected due to the vehicle being driven infrequently.
