This Mazda 2 has a concerning MOT history with multiple major failures and dangerous defects. As recently as January 2025, it failed due to major issues like imbalanced brakes and excessively worn suspension components. The most recent test highlighted a dangerous wear on the offside front tyre and a significant coolant leak, which could lead to costly repairs down the line. There’s a pattern of recurring failures related to the car’s brake system and tyres, as well as advisories about corrosion and worn suspension parts that have appeared multiple times. Given the age of the vehicle, problems like corrosion may be expected, but the frequency and severity of issues raise red flags for prospective buyers. Overall, this car's history suggests serious underlying mechanical concerns that should make anyone think twice before proceeding with a purchase.
