2019 Mazda 2 1.5L Petrol · R22 VER

The 2019 Mazda 2 presents a clean and stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 6 April 2026 at 59,925 miles passed entirely without defects, continuing a perfect record that stretches back to at least October 2022. This indicates consistent, proactive upkeep over the past four years. No recurring mechanical or structural faults have been flagged, and the vehicle has not developed any of the gradual deterioration patterns often seen in neglected small cars. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a seven-year-old vehicle. Between October 2022 at 26,164 miles and April 2026 at 59,925 miles, the car covered 33,761 miles over roughly three and a half years, averaging around 9,600 miles per year. The annual MOT intervals show a consistent pattern: 3,500 miles between October 2022 and October 2023, then 11,500 miles over the following eighteen months to April 2024, followed by 14,000 miles to April 2025, and 14,800 miles to April 2026. The slightly higher annual rate in recent years suggests increased daily use rather than neglect, and the clean defect record confirms this mileage has been covered without mechanical penalty. Despite the flawless MOT history, a buyer should still inspect the underside for surface corrosion on suspension mounting points, subframes, and brake line brackets, as Mazda 2 models from this era can develop corrosion in salted road conditions even when structurally sound. Check the condition of the front lower suspension arms and anti-roll bar links for play, as these are common wear items beyond 55,000 miles. The rear brake calipers and handbrake mechanism deserve attention too, since the DVSA records show no advisories but binding components can develop between annual tests. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for perishing and the exhaust system for corrosion around the flexi-joint and mounting rubbers, particularly given the car's age. The clean MOT record is reassuring, but a physical inspection of these high-wear areas remains essential before purchase.
