2018 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · WH63 WHF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT pass on 29 December 2025 at 53,454 miles. The history indicates a consistent pattern of maintenance, as the tester found no defects during the final inspection. The two recorded failures on 16 December 2025 at 53,255 miles and 17 December 2024 at 47,085 miles appear to be administrative or minor re-test issues, such as bulb replacements or minor adjustments, which were rectified immediately prior to the successful passes. The mileage accumulation is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,682 miles per annum. Between the December 2023 test at 40,036 miles and the December 2024 test at 47,085 miles, the car covered 7,049 miles, followed by another 6,369 miles in the subsequent year. This steady, low-impact use pattern suggests the car has likely been used for short-distance commuting, placing moderate stress on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage fleet vehicles. Because the MOT record shows no mechanical failures or structural corrosion, a physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation rather than wear and tear. A buyer should check the rubber components and suspension bushes for cracking or perishing, as these degrade over time regardless of low mileage. The brake discs should be examined for surface rust or pitting which often occurs on vehicles that sit for extended periods, and the underbody should be checked for any early signs of structural rust that have not yet reached the threshold of an MOT failure.
