2015 Mazda 2 1.5L Petrol · XY02 BEX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, following a clean pass in November 2025 at 48,127 miles. This maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory since the car moved from a multi-fault failure in late 2022 to consecutive clean records. The absence of defects in the most recent test indicates that the current owner has addressed previous mechanical and electrical issues to maintain basic operational standards. The mileage pattern is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,375 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage between annual tests, such as 2,792 miles driven between November 2024 and 2025, and 2,320 miles prior prior. This low mileage generally suggests less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it also increases the likelihood of rubber-based components degrading or brakes seizing if the car sat stationary for extended periods. A physical inspection should focus on the rear suspension, as the tester flagged corroded nearside rear coil springs in both 2023 and 2024. While the car passed the 2025 test without this mention, corrosion on springs is often progressive and requires a close check for structural integrity or hairline fractures. The buyer should also verify the brake system condition, noting the 2022 failure for thin pads, and ensure the low mileage has not led to uneven wear or heavy pitting on the brake discs.
