2016 Mazda 2 1.5L Petrol · SF65 AZM

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthiness rating of 100% at 74,960 miles, but this is not a stable or improving trend; rather, it reflects a complex pattern of maintenance failure and wear. The most recent test on 2025-09-18 at 74,960 miles was passed, yet it was flagged for imbalance in front brakes and perishing tyres, indicating that the vehicle has not yet reached the point where these issues resolve to a clean pass. The progression from a 2025 test to a 2024 test shows that the braking system and suspension components are deteriorating. The 2023 test at 61,209 miles revealed that rear seatbelts are slow to retract, suggesting a lack of regular servicing that has allowed wear to accumulate and potentially compromise structural integrity. Regarding the mileage context, the vehicle is approximately 10 years old with 74,960 miles, which is roughly 7,500 miles per year. While the overall mileage is low, the specific gaps and rapid accumulation of wear suggest the vehicle may have been driven less frequently or for longer periods since the 2025 test, leading to the accumulation of brake pads, suspension bushings, and structural components. The 2022 test at 52,068 miles was passed, but the 2023 test at 61,209 miles indicates a significant increase in mileage without corresponding improvement in condition, highlighting a potential gap in the owner's maintenance plan. In conclusion, the vehicle is currently 100% roadworthy, but this rating is a result of a deteriorating maintenance history rather than a permanent defect. Buyers must inspect the car for the specific faults flagged in the 2025 test, including balanced front brakes and perishing tyres, and for the 2023 test's issue of slow-retracting seatbelts. A thorough visual and mechanical inspection is required to verify that the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain have not suffered catastrophic damage or corrosion that would render the vehicle unsafe for future use.
