2022 Mazda 2 Hybrid Agile CVT 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · SF22 WDO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on July 7, 2025, but the immediate MOT history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. The failure just four days prior to that test at 49,096 miles indicates a significant lapse in upkeep across the braking and tyre systems. While the subsequent pass shows these defects were rectified, the density of faults suggests that the previous owner only addressed issues once they reached a legal or safety failure point. At 49,103 miles over four years, this Mazda 2 has averaged approximately 12,275 miles per year. This is above the national average for a city car and places higher demands on consumable components and the hybrid CVT drivetrain. The rapid progression between the failure on July 3 and the pass on July 7, covering only 7 miles, confirms that the vehicle underwent a comprehensive overhaul of tyres and brake components specifically to pass the test, rather than having them maintained through a regular service schedule. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the front braking system, as the 2025 test flagged pitted and scored discs with significant inner face corrosion. The rear brake pads were also noted as thin at 3mm, which is nearing the replacement threshold. A buyer should verify that the front discs were replaced with new units rather than merely resurfaced or ignored. Furthermore, the report of the offside front tyre being worn on the edge suggests a potential alignment issue or suspension bushing wear that should be checked to prevent premature degradation of the new tyres.
