2007 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · KJ57 AAU

The MOT record for this 2007 Mazda 2 presents a stable and reassuring maintenance history. The most recent test in August 2024 at 107,867 miles passed with no defects, and the three preceding annual tests from 2021 to 2023 also recorded clean sheets. The single failure in August 2021 at 89,276 miles listed no defects, suggesting a minor oversight or a retest scenario that was quickly resolved. Overall, the trend is one of consistent roadworthiness with no recurring mechanical or structural issues flagged. The recorded mileage of 107,867 miles over 19 years works out to roughly 5,677 miles per year, which is low for the vehicle's age. The annual test intervals show a steady accumulation pattern: from 89,400 miles in August 2021 to 94,933 miles in August 2022, then 102,161 miles in August 2023, and finally 107,867 miles in August 2024. This equates to between 5,500 and 7,200 miles per year, indicating regular but light use without any prolonged standing or rapid mileage spikes. Such a pattern typically reflects a car used for local journeys or as a second vehicle. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should still conduct a thorough in-person inspection focused on age-related wear. Examine the suspension bushes, coil springs, and anti-roll bar links for cracking or deterioration, as these components degrade over time regardless of mileage. Check the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or lipping, and listen for binding callipers during a test drive. Structural corrosion is a key concern on a vehicle of this age; inspect the sills, floor pans, and suspension mounting points for rust. The low annual mileage may also mean the car has stood for periods, so verify the condition of the tyres for cracking and the battery for charge retention.
