2018 Mazda 2 1.5L Petrol · FJ68 KNP

The maintenance trend for this 2018 Mazda 2 remains highly stable and improving, culminating in a completely clean MOT record. The most recent test on 29 October 2025 at 56,577 miles passed with zero defects recorded. This outcome follows three consecutive flawless annual tests, indicating the vehicle currently meets all structural, mechanical, and emissions standards without requiring any remedial work. The absence of advisories or failures in recent years suggests the previous owner addressed any prior concerns promptly and maintained the car to a high standard. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,072 miles per year. Between the November 2023 test at 46,956 miles and the November 2024 test at 52,453 miles, the car covered 5,497 miles over twelve months. The subsequent year saw a slight reduction in use, accumulating just 4,124 miles between November 2024 and the October 2025 test. There are no significant gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer readings that would suggest long periods of standing or unusually harsh high-mileage use, pointing instead to consistent, moderate annual driving. Despite the pristine recent record, the 2022 test entry on 18 November at 34,807 miles presents a notable anomaly. The vehicle officially failed on that date with no defects recorded, only to pass a test on the exact same day with the identical mileage and no listed defects. This pattern strongly implies a same-day retest following a minor initial failure, though the specific fault was not documented in the supplied data. Given this historical quirk, a buyer should inspect the exact components typically prone to sudden failure on this model, such as brake calipers, suspension bushes, and exhaust emissions. A thorough physical inspection of the undercarriage for structural corrosion and a road test to check for binding brakes or steering misalignment remains prudent, despite the subsequent three years of flawless passes.
