2019 Mazda 2 1.5L Petrol · T6 NBB

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy condition, showing a stable maintenance trend following a period of neglect. The most recent test in January 2026 at 46,811 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. This transition from a failure to a defect-free pass suggests the current owner is responsive to MOT requirements once they are flagged by the tester. At seven years old with 46,811 miles, the Mazda 2 has averaged approximately 6,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a small hatchback. The data shows a significant gap in mileage between March 2023 (25,896 miles) and March 2024 (35,456 miles), covering nearly 10,000 miles in twelve. The vehicle has covered roughly 6,000 miles since the 2025 test, suggesting consistent usage patterns that help prevent the degradation of rubber components and seals associated with long stationary periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the front axle and tyre condition, as the January 2025 failure highlighted both nearside and offside front tyres being worn to the legal limit with uneven edges. This specific wear often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that require monitoring. While the headlamp failure was rectified, a physical check of the electrical system for lighting intermittent faults remains advisable. Given the low mileage, the structural integrity is likely sound, but the wiper blade failure in 2024 suggests that basic consumables are only replaced when they fail a test rather than on a preventative schedule.
