Our Verdict
This 2018 Mazda 2 is a reasonable buy if the recent MOT failures are fully rectified before purchase. Caution is advised due to a failed test in June 2026 for lighting and windscreen faults, though it passed on re-test the same day.
Before buying LA18AOK, confirm with the seller that the offside rear position lamp, offside rear stop lamp, and offside front lower windscreen damage noted on the 15 June 2026 failure have been properly repaired, as the pass on the same day suggests they were addressed. Request the service history to verify routine maintenance has been kept up on this 1.5-litre petrol engine, and check that the 64,324 to 68,338 mile gap between May 2025 and June 2026 was covered by scheduled servicing.
As a 1498cc petrol Mazda 2 first registered in 2018, this car should fall into a low VED band and a modest insurance group, keeping fixed annual costs down. Typical maintenance for a small naturally aspirated petrol hatch is inexpensive, with brake lamps and windscreen repairs being minor outlays. Based on around 8,000-9,000 miles of annual use, estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance and routine maintenance are approximately £900-£1,100.
Inspect the offside rear lighting cluster to ensure the position and stop lamps noted as not working on the 15 June 2026 failure are fully functional and not showing water ingress. Check the offside front lower windscreen area for any remaining damage or a poor-quality repair from the same failure, as chips in the driver's lower view can worsen. Given the clean 2023-2025 MOTs with no defects, also carry out a general check of tyres, brakes and suspension, but pay particular attention to the rear lamp wiring and screen condition referenced in the latest test.
The vehicle is an July 2018 registered grey 1.5-litre petrol Mazda 2 with 68,338 miles recorded at its most recent June 2026 MOT. Its history shows four previous passes with no defects between 2023 and 2025, but a June 2026 failure for offside rear lamp and stop lamp faults plus lower windscreen damage, corrected on the same day. With no aggregate model reliability data available, the assessment rests on the individual MOT record, which is mostly clean aside from the latest issues.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Mazda 2, so this assessment relies solely on the individual vehicle's test history.
