2016 Mazda 2 1.5L Petrol · LC16 DHF

The vehicle holds a solid roadworthiness rating, but the maintenance trend appears to be stabilizing rather than deteriorating, with the most recent test on 2026-05-11 showing a clear pass. The MOT record is relatively recent, with the most recent test occurring in May 2026, placing the vehicle well within the current testing window. The mileage of 29,587 miles is consistent with a 10-year-old model, suggesting the vehicle has maintained drivetrain integrity and suspension components without the typical rapid accumulation of wear associated with older models. The mileage pattern indicates that while the vehicle has experienced some wear, it has not accumulated excessive loads that would necessitate immediate replacement of major components. The test dates show a gap between 2026 and 2025, followed by a period of steady progression through 2024 and 2023, before stabilizing in 2022. This pattern suggests the owner has maintained sufficient fuel economy or driving conditions to keep the engine and drivetrain in good shape, though the 2026 test confirms that the vehicle is still operating within legal limits. Given the consistent pass rates and the absence of severe structural issues, a buyer should inspect the car for minor wear and tear rather than undertaking a full roadworthiness test. The most significant risks to address are the rear and near-side tyre damage, which has been flagged in the 2026 test, and the worn brake discs and pads. These components are in the process of failing or being worn, but they are not currently causing safety hazards. A thorough inspection is required to assess the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as well as the condition of the brake discs, as these are the primary areas where wear is occurring and must be addressed before the vehicle is put into service.
