Hiya, I’m looking at a 17 plate Mazda 2 1.5 skyactiv-G sport nav euro 6, it’s done around 42k miles and has got a good MOT history, what are some things that I should be looking out for and are there any common faults with this model and year?
I’ve never owned a Mazda so this will be my first if I do end up buying it

 

A good service history would be good I have a Maxda2 1.5 le nav 16 plate with 10000 miles with full service history had a couple of things go wrong first a wheel speed sensor went faulty (not a common fault) and the touch screen went faulty this I believe was quite a common fault mainly due to the screen starts to craze. The sun heating up the interior seems to cause the problem but I am not sure if that was sorted In 2017 models check you can go all through the menue without any problems and there are no imperfections on the screen you would not want to buy a new one £1200 +. On mine when trying to go into the menue it just decided to do what it wanted despite me not imputing anything.
I took a punt on a used one from a 2018 model in the hope the problem would have been sorted been ok fingers crossed.
oh check the rear seat belts work ok they have been known to fail
