Our Verdict
This Mazda 2 represents a sensible used
Even on a car with a clean MOT pass record like this one, a pre-purchase inspection is still worthwhile. Ask the seller to see any service history, particularly evidence of cambelt or timing chain attention, brake fluid changes, and coolant replacement, as the MOT record alone does not confirm any of these have been carried out. The advisories from 2025 (front brake pads wearing thin and both front tyres worn on their inner edges) suggest that inner-tyre wear is worth checking carefully on any test drive, as uneven wear can point to suspension or geometry issues. The inner-edge tyre wear pattern is one to scrutinise on a test drive or during an independent inspection. Negotiation should focus on the likely cost of replacing those front tyres and brake pads if they have not been addressed since the July 2025 test.
The Mazda 2 1.5-litre petrol is a frugal supermini, with real-world fuel economy typically in the mid-40s to low-50s mpg, making it cheap to run for commuting or urban driving. Road tax on a 2015 petrol car of this engine size sits in a relatively modest band, and insurance falls in a low group for the class. Routine maintenance is straightforward, with parts widely available and servicing costs generally lower than larger or more complex vehicles. Based on typical usage of around 6,000 miles per year, annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance should fall in the region of £900 to £1,100.
Given the model-level MOT data identifies suspension arms, tyres, and brake discs as the most common failure points on the Mazda 2, an inspection should pay particular attention to these areas. Inspect the front brake discs for lipping or scoring, and check the suspension arms, bushes, and anti-roll bar links for wear, as these are the model aggregate's leading cause of MOT failures. Examine the tyres carefully for uneven wear, especially on the inner edges as flagged in this vehicle's 2025 MOT, which could indicate alignment or suspension issues. Beyond the data-driven items, check the air conditioning operation, listen for timing chain noise on cold start, and confirm all warning lights clear on ignition.
This December 2015 Mazda 2 is a 1.5-litre petrol supermini finished in black with just over 55,000 miles on the clock. Across five MOT tests between 2022 and 2026, it has passed every year without a single failure, recording only four advisories in total. Annual mileage of around 5,800 miles sits very close to the Mazda 2 model average of 5,616 miles, suggesting fairly typical usage for its age. The car has covered only 7,732 miles in the most recent 12-month MOT period, indicating continued regular but not excessive use.
The Mazda 2 has a strong reliability reputation, and the model-wide MOT pass rate of 79.6% across nearly 128,000 analysed vehicles reflects generally solid mechanical condition. The most common failure points are suspension arms, tyres, and brake discs, which are typical consumable wear items for a supermini of this age.
