Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to recurring ty
When inspecting this vehicle, pay close attention to the front suspension components, as the 2025 MOT failure for a ball joint is a common issue for this model. You should also verify if the suspension geometry has been checked, given the recurring tyre wear advisories noted in the 2024 and 2025 tests.
Request to see the service history to determine if the front brake pads, which were noted as wearing thin in 2024, have since been replaced. It is advisable to negotiate the price if the tyres are nearing the legal limit again, as this has been a consistent pattern in the vehicle's history.
The 1.5-litre petrol engine in this Mazda 2 is generally economical for urban and motorway driving. However, budget for regular maintenance, particularly for suspension and tyre replacement, as these are frequent failure points for this model.
Annual running costs, including fuel, insurance, road tax, and routine servicing, are estimated at approximately £1,100–£1,300. Factor in the potential for higher-than-average tyre replacement frequency based on the vehicle's MOT record.
Begin your inspection by checking the condition of all four tyres; ensure they have even tread depth, as the vehicle has a history of edge-wear. Test the windscreen washer system thoroughly to ensure the pump and spray nozzles are functioning correctly, as this was a specific failure point in 2025.
Take the car for a test drive on a variety of road surfaces to listen for any knocking or rattling sounds from the front suspension, which could indicate further wear on the arms or ball joints. Additionally, verify that the rear seat belts operate smoothly and retract fully, referencing the 2023 failure.
This 2015 Mazda 2 has covered 55,803 miles since its registration in October 2015. The MOT history shows a mix of passes and failures, with a notable failure in 2025 regarding a front suspension arm ball joint and windscreen washer performance. Frequent tyre-related advisories across multiple years indicate potential alignment or driving style factors that a prospective buyer should investigate.
The Mazda 2 generally aligns with industry averages, though aggregate data shows that suspension arms and coil springs are among the most common MOT failure points for this model.
