Our Verdict
A solid, low-maintenance choice for a budget city car. While the MOT history is exceptionally clean, the lack of recent data since 2021 is the primary point of caution.
The standout feature of this OE57AAV registration is the lack of MOT defects from 2018 to 2021. However, as there are no recorded tests after December 2021, your first priority must be to confirm if the vehicle has been kept in roadworthy condition or stored during this gap. Request the full service history to see if the 1.3L engine has had regular oil changes, which is critical for long-term reliability in these units.
Negotiate based on the current MOT status and any immediate maintenance required after its period of inactivity. Ensure the tyres and brakes are still viable, as rubber components can perish even if the mileage remains low during storage.
The 1349cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, placing it in a lower tax bracket and insurance group typical for small city cars. Fuel economy is generally competitive for its age, making it an affordable daily commuter.
Annual costs will be kept low due to the simple mechanical nature of the Mazda 2. Expect modest spending on routine servicing and consumables, though older petrol engines may require occasional spark plug or filter replacements to maintain efficiency.
While the MOT history shows no defects up to 93,948 miles, you should specifically check for surface rust on the sills and wheel arches, a common age-related issue for vehicles from 2007. Inspect the clutch pedal feel and gear transitions to ensure the drivetrain remains smooth.
Given the gap in MOT data since 2021, pay close attention to the battery health and the condition of the brake discs for any signs of heavy corrosion from sitting idle. Check all lights and wipers, as these are common simple failure points that may have developed since the last recorded test.
This green 2007 Mazda 2 is a petrol-powered city car with a remarkably clean MOT record between 2018 and 2021. With 93,948 miles recorded at its last test, it shows a consistent usage pattern of roughly 4,000 to 6,000 miles per year. The absence of any recorded defects over five years of testing suggests a vehicle that has been well-maintained.
The Mazda 2 is generally regarded as a dependable small car, though specific aggregate data for this generation is not available in this set.
