2009 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · CV59 TFX

The Mazda 2 presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 28 August 2025 at 87,518 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the three years of available history, with every pass showing a clean sheet and no advisories logged. A failed test on the same date at identical mileage was recorded with no defects cited, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The recorded mileage sits low for a 2009 vehicle. The car covered just 6,653 miles between the September 2023 test at 74,565 miles and the September 2024 test at 80,864 miles, then 6,654 miles to the August 2025 pass at 87,518 miles. That averages roughly 5,100 miles per year. The sparse record shows only three passes and two same-day failures, with no consumable wear or structural issues ever flagged by testers. The clean MOT history gives no evidence of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion problems across the period. A buyer should still arrange a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition, as a 17-year-old car can hide rust not caught in a pass test. The twin failures on 3 September 2024 and 28 August 2025 with zero defects suggest paperwork or presentation issues rather than owner neglect of mechanical care. Given the low annual use, periods of standing may have affected brake calipers or tyre sidewalls through age rather than wear. Verify the actual condition of flexible components and confirm the reasons behind both zero-defect failures before purchase.
