2009 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · CV59 LPO

The 2009 Mazda 2 presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. In the October 2025 test at 61,442 miles the vehicle passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken pass sequence across the last five annual examinations. The maintenance trend shows no worsening faults, advisories, or recurring mechanical concerns throughout the documented period. Annual mileage sits well below typical class averages for a seventeen-year-old car. The record shows 43,170 miles in September 2021, rising to 49,183 by October 2022, 52,949 by October 2023, 57,891 by October 2024, and 61,442 by October 2025. That equates to roughly 3,600 miles per year, confirming light use with no abrupt accumulation spikes or standing gaps between tests. The DVSA data is sparse on faults simply because the tester logged none at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the shell. Low-mileage cars left idle for stretches often develop corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points even when MOTs stay clean. The tester recorded no structural integrity issues, yet the October 2025 pass offers no guarantee against hidden rust forming since. Check the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related perishing rather than wear from distance. Verify the exhaust emissions system and tyre sidewalls for cracking from infrequent use. The history implies a careful keeper who kept statutory tests current, but it does not substitute for a ramp-based check of components the MOT lane did not flag.
