2021 Mazda 2 Sport NAV Mhev 1.5L Petrol · DN21 XJO

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test on 15 May 2026. While the car failed a test just one day prior at the same mileage due to non-functional nearside rear position and stop lamps, these minor electrical faults were rectified immediately to achieve compliance. The maintenance trend appears remarkably stable, as no mechanical defects, structural advisories, or emission failures have been recorded across the entire testing history since 2024. The mileage profile is consistently low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,711 miles per year. Between the April 2024 test at 12,633 miles and the May 2026 test at 23,556 miles, the car covered 10,923 miles over two years, indicating a steady usage pattern of roughly 5,460 miles annually. This low-intensity usage suggests short-distance commuting, which typically results in less wear on the suspension components and drivetrain but can occasionally lead to brake corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary. Because the MOT record shows no historical advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake lines, or corrosion, a physical inspection should focus on verifying the integrity of the low mileage. A buyer should check the brake discs for surface pitting, which often occurs on low-mileage cars, and inspect the tyres for flat-spotting or cracking from age rather than tread wear. The recent failure was a simple bulb replacement issue, but testing the wiring in the rear light cluster will ensure there are no intermittent electrical faults lurking in the system.
