MAZDA 22007 · 1.4L Petrol

The most recent MOT test on 3 August 2022 at 88,038 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, indicating the vehicle met roadworthiness standards at that time. Relative to the evaluation date of 20 July 2026, this certificate is nearly four years old and no subsequent test data exists. The maintenance trend across the available records is stable; the DVSA log shows passes in June 2020, June 2021 and August 2022, interspersed with same-day failures on 27 June 2021 and 2 August 2022 that listed no defects. Such fail-and-pass pairs without recorded faults suggest administrative or presentation anomalies rather than escalating mechanical degradation. The Mazda 2 displays low mileage for its 2007 birth year, accumulating roughly 4,634 miles annually against the recorded 88,038 miles. From the 23 June 2020 test at 71,645 miles to the 27 June 2021 test at 80,248 miles, the odometer advanced 8,603 miles; by the 3 August 2022 test it read 88,038 miles, a further 7,790 miles over fourteen months. The sparse five-entry history contains no advisories or defects, reflecting either conscientious basic upkeep or limited rigorous inspection reporting. A four-year gap since the last test implies the car may have seen minimal use or been declared off-road, a pattern consistent with light annual coverage but raising questions over prolonged static storage. Despite the clean MOT ledger, a buyer should physically examine age-sensitive components that the tests did not flag. At nineteen years old, suspension bushes, coil springs and brake discs warrant close inspection for fatigue or corrosion, particularly if the vehicle stood unused for extended periods. The tester recorded no structural integrity concerns, yet underbody rust and exhaust emissions compliance should be verified on a ramp. Consumables such as tyres and wiper blades, though absent from the record, demand replacement assessment given the elapsed time since the 2022 pass. The unexplained failures dated 27 June 2021 and 2 August 2022, both showing identical mileages to the subsequent passes and zero defects, merit a DVSA certificate cross-check before purchase. Previous owners cleared the tests without advisory notes, implying no glaring neglect, but the absence of recent data leaves mechanical condition unverified for current road use.
