2017 Mazda 2 1.5L Petrol · NA17 ABN

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a clean pass on 10 March 2026 at 27,665 miles. The maintenance record demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend with no recurring mechanical failures across the available testing window. A single test failure on 17 March 2025 at 25,092 miles required a retest, which the vehicle passed the following day at 25,093 miles. Beyond that isolated incident, the tester recorded zero defects in the 2023, 2024, and 2026 examinations. The absence of repeated advisories or major failures indicates consistent baseline upkeep and suggests the previous keeper addressed any minor technical gaps promptly. The odometer progression aligns with the stated low annual usage of approximately 3,000 miles. The vehicle accumulated 3,220 miles between the March 2023 test at 18,653 miles and the March 2024 inspection at 21,874 miles. Usage remained similarly restrained through the following year, adding just 3,219 miles by the March 2025 retest at 25,093 miles. The most recent interval shows a modest increase of 2,572 miles over twelve months. This steady, low-mileage pattern typically points to short-distance commuting or seasonal storage rather than intensive motorway driving. Buyers should verify that the low kilometres have not resulted from prolonged standing, which can degrade rubber seals, brake discs, and fuel systems through moisture accumulation and oxidation. Despite the clean paper trail, a physical inspection must verify components that do not always trigger MOT failures until they reach critical wear limits. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for dry rot or sagging, as low mileage vehicles often skip scheduled suspension servicing. Check the brake discs and pads for surface rust or uneven wear, since infrequent braking cycles promote corrosion and binding calipers. Inspect the underbody and wheel arches for structural rust, particularly around the sills and exhaust mounting points, where moisture traps easily on lightly used cars. Verify tyre age and condition, as rubber compounds harden and crack from UV exposure and storage regardless of tread depth. Confirm all fluid levels and belt conditions, since extended intervals between services can allow engine oil to degrade and drive belts to lose tension.
