2017 Mazda 2 1.5L Petrol · NA17 ABF

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean pass on March 24, 2026 at 95,044 miles. This result indicates an improving maintenance trend compared to previous years where the car failed its initial tests immediately prior to passing. The lack of any advisories in the most recent inspection suggests that the current owner has addressed previous mechanical concerns and is maintaining the vehicle to a standard that meets DVSA requirements. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per year. The record shows a steady accumulation of use with 4,000 miles driven between April 2024 and March 2025, and another 6,531 miles between March 2025 and March 2026. This regularity suggests the car is used consistently rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the preservation of seals, suspension components, and braking systems. A buyer should still investigate the specific components that caused the failures in April 2024 and March 2025, as the provided data does not list the exact reasons for those rejects. Recurring failures followed immediately by passes often point to specific items such as bulbs, tyre pressures, or minor emission leaks that were rectified only after the test. A physical inspection should focus on checking the condition of the chassis for corrosion and the state of the suspension bushes, ensuring that the high mileage has not led to accelerated wear on the drivetrain or shock absorbers.
