2019 Mazda 2 1.5L Petrol · KV19 OFA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on July 16, 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently met minimum safety standards over the last four years. While the 2025 test identified minor perishing and cracking on both rear tyres, this is a common physiological issue for low-mileage vehicles that sit stationary rather than indicative of mechanical failure. At 32,715 miles over seven years, this Mazda has averaged approximately 4,674 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average. The usage pattern is consistent, with an increase of roughly 4,500 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 4,902 miles in the following year. This low mileage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the likelihood of rubber-based parts, such as bushings and tyres, degrading due to age rather than distance travelled. A prospective buyer should focus on the condition of the tyres, as the July 2025 advisory indicates the rubber is reaching the end of its life despite sufficient depth. The 2023 test flagged thin front brake pads at 23,256 miles, so the buyer must verify the remaining life or ensure they were replaced recently. Given the low mileage, an inspection should also check for brake corrosion on the discs and seized calipers, which often occur when vehicles are not used frequently.
