2009 Mazda 2 TS2 D 1.4L Diesel · MHZ 2730

The vehicle maintains a current roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 30 July 2025 with 93,743 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record reveals a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. In both 2024 and 2025, the car failed the test within days of the appointment, suggesting that the previous owner addressed specific defects or cleared-out items only when prompted by a legal test failure rather than through a proactive preventative maintenance schedule. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 93,743 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 5,514 miles per year. The data shows a significant gap in usage between the January 2023 test at 78,684 miles and the June 2024 test at 87,156 miles, covering only about 8,500 miles in 17 months. The more recent period shows an increase in activity, with 6,587 miles covered in the last year. This low-use profile often leads to age degradation of rubber-based components, such as suspension bushes and seals, despite the low mechanical wear on the drivetrain. Because the MOT history shows no recorded advisories or recurring mechanical faults, a buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focused on common age-related issues. Mazda vehicles of this era are prone to corrosion on the sills, rear wheel arches, and suspension mounting points which may not always trigger a failure until structural integrity compromised. Check the brake calipers for binding or seizing, which frequently occurs when vehicles remain stationary for long periods. Additionally, inspect the tyres for cracking or perished sidewalls, as low mileage often masks aged rubber that remains within legal tread depth limits.
