2009 Mazda 2 TS2 D 1.4L Diesel · XKZ 5840

This Mazda 2 presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 14 November 2024 at 98,589 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2021, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is low for a 17 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,799 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between July 2022 at 77,967 miles and November 2023 at 86,319 miles, where the car covered over 8,000 miles in sixteen months. Since then, the vehicle has covered approximately 12,000 miles in two years. The low overall mileage reduces expected wear on the drivetrain but can sometimes mask issues related to long periods of inactivity. The MOT history is unusually clean for a vehicle of this age, showing no recorded advisories for brake wear, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions over the last five years. A single failure on 14 June 2021 at 69,972 miles was resolved within five days, though the record does not specify the fault. This lack of documented wear on consumables is atypical for a 2009 model. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the chassis and sills for corrosion, as MOT testers often overlook surface rust that has not yet compromised structural integrity. Check the condition of the rubber components and tyre dates to ensure they have not perished due to the low annual mileage. Verify the service history for oil changes and timing belt intervals, as the MOT record only confirms basic roadworthiness and not the comprehensive mechanical health of the engine.
