2015 Mazda 2 1.5L Petrol · SF15 TCR

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted just six months ago on 16 January 2026, confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. This pattern of consecutive passes—spanning five tests from November 2021 to January 2026—indicates a stable maintenance history with no recurring advisories or failures. The absence of any advisory notes in the latest test suggests the tester did not identify any latent issues requiring immediate attention, though this does not preclude wear that may only become apparent under closer inspection. The vehicle’s compliance with emissions standards at each test further supports consistent upkeep, though real-world fuel efficiency could vary. The recorded mileage of 61,129 miles over approximately 11 years—roughly 5,557 miles annually—falls well below the average for a vehicle of this age, suggesting either light usage or prolonged periods of inactivity. The intervals between tests are consistent with the annual MOT cycle, with no unusually large jumps in mileage between tests. For instance, the vehicle covered 7,110 miles between the December 2023 and December 2024 tests, and another 7,110 miles between December 2024 and January 2026, indicating steady, albeit modest, usage. While low mileage can imply less wear on high-stress components like suspension bushes or brake calipers, it may also correlate with deferred maintenance if the vehicle was stored without regular checks. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, particularly the coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, as these are prone to degradation even with low mileage if the vehicle has been exposed to moisture or poor storage conditions. The brakes, while not flagged in tests, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been infrequently driven. Corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe should be examined, as rust can compromise structural integrity over time. Tyre tread depth and lateral wear patterns should also be checked, as the absence of MOT failures in this area does not guarantee they have been consistently maintained. Finally, a check of the exhaust system for leaks or excessive corrosion is advisable, particularly if the vehicle has spent time in damp conditions.
