2018 Mazda 2 1.5L Petrol · HF68 GHV

This Mazda 2 presents an exceptionally clean MOT history with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 May 2025 at 68,382 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been kept in a roadworthy condition without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation shows a significant increase in the last three years. Between May 2022 and May 2023, the vehicle covered 18,482 miles. This trend continued into 2024, where it reached 45,179 miles, and accelerated further to 68,382 miles by May 2025. While the overall average of 8,548 miles per year is typical for its age, the recent surge suggests a change in usage patterns, likely moving from light urban use to more frequent or longer-distance commuting. The absence of advisories regarding brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion across five years of testing is rare and suggests a high standard of preventative care. The single failure on 3 May 2023 was resolved on the same day, which is common for minor administrative or quick-fix issues. There are no documented trends of deteriorating structural integrity or failing consumables. A physical inspection should focus on the wear of tyres and brake pads given the 23,203 miles covered since the last pass. While the MOT record is flawless, the rapid increase in mileage since 2022 means these consumables will be closer to the end of their service life. Checking the service book for oil change intervals during this high-mileage period is the only remaining priority to confirm the engine has been maintained alongside the chassis.
