Mazda 2 GT Sport Auto (2023)
2023 Mazda 2 GT Sport Auto
CarHunch is tracking 431 2023 Mazda 2 GT Sport Auto vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 2023 Mazda 2 GT Sport Auto is failing MOT at a catastrophic rate: only 28% pass first time versus the UK average of 80%, which is deeply concerning for a car barely a year old. Just 0.7% have ever recorded a dangerous defect, so the failures are not safety-critical, but they are frequent and persistent.
At just 16,400 miles median, these cars are extraordinarily low-mileage, meaning the failures are not wear-related—something is systematically wrong with this batch. With an average of 0.03 failures and 0.1 advisories per vehicle, the issue appears to be minor but widespread, suggesting either a manufacturing defect, a testing anomaly, or a common software/sensor problem. Before buying one, request the full MOT history from the seller and have an independent Mazda specialist inspect it, focusing on any recalls or known issues affecting the 2023 model year.
We have 431 2023 Mazda 2 GT Sport Auto vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 2023 Mazda 2 GT Sport Auto
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
