2007 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · MW57 AEZ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2021-12-09 at 128,657 miles, recorded a pass with no defects. However, the absence of subsequent tests since this date raises concerns about its current roadworthiness. The MOT history reveals two failed tests in 2019 and 2020 at identical mileages (121,705 and 125,610 miles), though no defects were logged for these failures. This suggests potential issues that were resolved before retesting, but the lack of detailed defect records limits definitive analysis. The vehicle’s maintenance trend appears stable in terms of passing tests, but the prolonged gap between inspections and the absence of recent data mean its mechanical condition cannot be fully verified. The recorded mileage of 128,657 miles aligns with an average of 6,771 miles per year over 19 years, which is typical for its age. The mileage progression shows a gradual increase, with 3,905 miles added between 2019 and 2020, and 3,047 miles between 2020 and 2021. These figures indicate consistent usage without significant gaps or rapid accumulation, suggesting the vehicle has been driven regularly. However, the sparse MOT data—limited to four tests over seven years—provides limited insight into maintenance patterns. The absence of recurring defects in the pass entries implies no major systemic issues, but the lack of recent checks leaves uncertainties about component wear. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these are common wear items on older vehicles. The brake system, including discs and calipers, should be checked for corrosion or binding, particularly given the age. Structural integrity, especially under the chassis, warrants scrutiny for rust or damage. While the MOT records show no critical failures, the vehicle’s long interval between tests and the unresolved nature of earlier failures mean a professional inspection is essential to confirm its safety and reliability.
