Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Given the very low annual mileage, you should scrutinize the service history to ensure the engine oil has been changed at regular intervals regardless of distance. The 2023 and 2024 MOT records show repeated issues with tyre perishing and cracking, which is common for cars that spend long periods stationary; check all rubber seals and the battery health accordingly.
Negotiate based on the age of the tyres if they haven't been replaced since the 2024 failure. Ensure there is documentation for the brake disc and pad replacements carried out in February 2024 to confirm the quality of the parts used.
The 1496cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making it a cost-effective choice for urban commuting. Insurance groups for the Mazda 2 are typically low, and the vehicle falls into a reasonable tax bracket for its age.
Maintenance costs are generally modest, although the low usage of this specific car means it may require more frequent 'health checks' for components that degrade with age rather than wear. Estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, and insurance are approximately £900-£1,200.
Pay close attention to the tyres and braking system. The February 2024 MOT failure specifically cited front brake pads thinner than 1.5mm and worn front discs, as well as perishing across all four tyres. Verify that these have been replaced with quality components and that the current tread is even.
While this vehicle has not yet shown issues with the suspension, aggregate data for the Mazda 2 indicates that suspension arms and coil springs are frequent failure points. During your test drive, listen for any knocks or rattles over uneven surfaces to ensure these common weak points are not developing.
This blue 2017 Mazda 2 has covered only 27,479 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average. While it recorded one MOT failure in February 2024 due to worn brakes and tyres, the two most recent tests in 2025 and 2026 were passed with no defects recorded. It represents a low-use example of a generally reliable petrol hatchback.
The Mazda 2 has a respectable average MOT pass rate of 79.6%, with common issues typically centering on suspension arms and coil springs.
