2016 Mazda 2 1.5L Petrol · HS16 GXV

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 7 October 2025 at 99,312 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owner has proactively addressed mechanical and safety requirements before they could result in a failure during the DVSA testing process. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,900 miles per annum. Between August 2021 at 83,529 miles and October 2025 at 99,312 miles, the car covered 15,783 miles, suggesting a regular usage pattern rather than long periods of neglect. The 110-mile difference between the 2024 and 2025 tests shows the vehicle is currently used sparingly, which helps prevent the seal failures and component degradation often associated with stationary cars. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion or recurring mechanical issues, a buyer should focus on high-mileage components as the car nears the one-hundred-thousand-mile mark. At this stage, physical inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and dampers is necessary, as these often show wear regardless of clean MOT results. The buyer should also check the brake discs for thinning and verify the condition of the rubber engine mounts, as the MOT test does not capture minor fluid leaks or fluid leaks.
