2015 Mazda 2 1.5L Petrol · SN65 CTT

The vehicle currently meets roadworthiness standards for the 2026 test, but the MOT sequence indicates a clear deterioration trend. The most recent test on 2022-04-29 at 53,187 miles was PASSED with no defects, yet the progression from this year to the previous one (2021) at 48,344 miles was also PASSED, suggesting the system may have been bypassed or the test was a single lapse rather than a genuine failure. This pattern of passing with no defects in consecutive years suggests the vehicle has undergone basic upkeep, but the lack of a failure record implies the system may be functioning correctly for the current test. The mileage accumulation reflects a specific maintenance pattern where the vehicle was maintained at a very low rate, averaging approximately 4,835 miles per year. This rate is significantly lower than the typical 11-12 miles per year for a car of this age, which would indicate that long-term driving or parking habits have not resulted in significant wear on the drivetrain, suspension, or brakes. The absence of gaps in the mileage record suggests that the vehicle has not been driven for extended periods, meaning the wear rates on consumables like tyres, wipers, and brake discs have remained stable and within normal limits. Given the consistent passing of the MOT with no defects, the vehicle is likely in good condition for the 2026 test, provided the owner continues to adhere to a routine maintenance schedule. However, the history suggests a potential risk of mechanical issues if the owner fails to perform regular checks on the suspension, brakes, or exhaust system, which could lead to premature failure in the near future. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of rust, binding calipers, or structural damage, as these are the most common causes of MOT failures in this category, even when the test record shows no defects.
