2022 Mazda 2 1.5L Petrol · SK72 YSH

The 2022 Mazda 2 presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its sole recorded MOT entry. The most recent test, conducted on 24 September 2025 at 31,871 miles, resulted in a pass, indicating the vehicle met minimum safety standards at that point. However, the tester issued an advisory for front brake pads wearing thin. This suggests the vehicle was operating with brake components approaching the wear limit, a common consumable issue but one that demands prompt attention to avoid metal-on-metal damage to discs. With only a single test on record, no long-term trend of worsening or resolving faults can be established beyond this snapshot. The mileage pattern is straightforward and unremarkable. The vehicle accumulated its entire recorded 31,871 miles between its registration in 2022 and the September 2025 test, averaging approximately 7,968 miles per year. This falls squarely within typical annual usage for a supermini of its age. The MOT history is sparse, consisting solely of the one pass in 2025, which is expected for a vehicle that would not have required its first test until 2025. There are no gaps or anomalies in the mileage accumulation to suggest long periods of inactivity or sudden high-mileage use. Prospective buyers should focus their in-person inspection on the braking system. The advisory for thin front brake pads at the last test means the condition of the pads and the condition of the front brake discs require immediate verification. A physical check will determine whether the pads have been replaced since September 2025 or if they remain in a worn state. Beyond the brakes, the general condition of the underbody and suspension components warrants a thorough examination. At four years old and with typical mileage, the vehicle should not exhibit significant structural corrosion, but a close inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and exhaust mounting points is prudent to confirm no premature deterioration has occurred.
