2018 Mazda 2 SE 1.5L Petrol · PO18 VTN

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a perfectly stable maintenance history. The most recent MOT test conducted on 4 October 2025 at 28,939 miles passed with no defects or advisories. This follows a consistent trend of clean results, indicating that the vehicle has remained within safety and emissions standards without any recorded mechanical or structural failures over the last three testing cycles. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old car, averaging approximately 3,600 miles per year. Between August 2022 at 17,905 miles and October 2023 at 21,998 miles, the car covered just 4,000 miles. The subsequent interval saw an increase of 6,941 miles between the 2023 and 2025 tests. This pattern suggests short-distance use, which typically limits wear on the drivetrain and engine components but can lead to specific issues if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. While the MOT record shows no recorded faults, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage storage. You must check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as that is common in cars that are not driven frequently. Inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking or flat spots, given that age often impacts rubber compounds more than tread depth. The lack of any advisories regarding suspension bushes or exhaust corrosion suggests structural integrity remains sound, but verifying the condition of the rubber seals and fluid is prudent for a vehicle of this age.
