2015 Mazda 2 1.5L Petrol · YC65 ABF

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-05-02 at 19,157 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but the preceding test on 2025-05-01 at 19,156 miles showed a failure with no recorded defects. This suggests a possible administrative error or technical inconsistency in the MOT system. Prior tests from 2024-10-07 (17,906 miles) and 2023-10-04 (16,043 miles) also passed with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past three years. No recurring mechanical issues or structural concerns were flagged in the history, implying the vehicle has been well-maintained in terms of critical systems. The recorded mileage of 19,157 miles for an 11-year-old vehicle equates to approximately 1,742 miles annually, significantly lower than average usage. This suggests the car may have been stored for extended periods, increasing the risk of corrosion, fluid degradation, or seized components. The MOTs are spaced irregularly, with a 12-month gap between 2023-10-04 and 2024-10-07, followed by a six-month interval to the 2025 tests. While the absence of defects is positive, the low mileage and sparse testing frequency warrant scrutiny of the vehicle’s actual usage and storage conditions. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as low-mileage vehicles can develop stiffness or uneven wear. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for corrosion or binding, particularly if the car was parked for long periods. The absence of structural rust or emission-related advisories is reassuring, but the lack of detailed defect records in failed tests limits confidence in the MOT data. A physical inspection is essential to verify the vehicle’s current condition, especially given the unusual MOT history and low mileage for its age.
