Our Verdict
A sensible choice for city driving, prov
When inspecting this specific Mazda 2, your priority should be verifying that the suspension issues noted in the January 2024 failure (specifically the nearside and offside front lower suspension arm ball joints) were professionally repaired. Ask for receipts or digital records to confirm these parts were replaced rather than just adjusted.
Given the 2023 advisory regarding low engine oil, you should check the service history to see if oil changes were performed at regular intervals. A well-documented service history is vital for this 1.3L petrol engine to ensure long-term reliability. Finally, check the condition of the headlamp lenses to ensure they haven't clouded over again, as this was a previous failure point.
The 1349cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making it suitable for urban environments. You can expect reasonable fuel economy, though actual figures will depend on driving style and load.
Insurance groups for this model are typically low, making it an affordable option for newer drivers. Maintenance costs are generally predictable for a small hatchback, though you should budget for periodic replacement of wear-and-tear items like suspension components and bulbs, which have appeared in this vehicle's MOT history.
Focus your inspection on the front suspension. The 2024 MOT failure specifically cited excessively worn ball joints on both the nearside and offside front lower suspension arms. Test the car on a test drive to check for any knocks or knocks over bumps.
Additionally, inspect the headlamp lenses for clarity and the windscreen washer system for functionality, as both were flagged in previous tests. Ensure the engine oil level is correct and that there are no visible leaks, following the 2023 MOT observation regarding low oil levels.
This 2009 blue Mazda 2 has covered 94,378 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 5,640 miles per year. While it has a history of suspension and lighting failures in early 2024, the three most recent MOT tests have passed without defects. The vehicle's mileage is high for its age, but its recent testing record is relatively stable.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 79.6% MOT pass rate, with suspension arms and headlamps being common failure points across the fleet.
