2017 Mazda 2 1.5L Petrol · SO66 AFY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection data. The February 2026 test at 94,898 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure on the same day. This pattern of failing and immediately passing suggests the vehicle has undergone necessary remedial work to address minor issues, such as lighting or wiper blades, to meet the required standard. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical nine-year usage pattern. The car has covered approximately 10,544 miles per year, reaching 94,898 miles by mid-2026. The data shows steady progression from 75,021 miles in January 2024 to 85,333 miles in January 2025, and finally 94,898 miles in February 2026. This steady increase indicates regular road use rather than long periods of stagnation. The MOT history is notably clean, with no recorded advisories regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake corrosion. While the recent failures in early 2025 and early 2026 do not specify the exact mechanical faults, the lack of recurring advisories for structural integrity or exhaust emissions suggests the vehicle has been maintained well enough to avoid significant degradation. A prospective buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the consumables. Given the mileage, I recommend checking the remaining tread depth on the tyres and inspecting the brake discs for heavy pitting or uneven wear. While the records show no systemic mechanical failures, verifying the condition of the suspension components and checking for any signs of underside corrosion would be prudent before purchase.
