2007 Mazda 2 1.4L Petrol · CX07 YDB

The 2007 Mazda 2 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 March 2024 at 75,888 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2023 also closed as passes with no advisories. The record shows no worsening mechanical faults and no recurring consumable or structural issues across the observed period. Recorded mileage sits low for a nineteen-year-old vehicle. The odometer read 71,841 miles on 28 March 2022, rose to 74,350 miles by 31 March 2023, and reached 75,888 miles at the 2024 test. That equates to roughly 1,250 miles per year over the last two years and under 4,000 miles annually across the car's life. The sparse but clean history gives little insight into component wear, though long standing periods implied by low use raise the risk of perished rubber bushes, seized brake calipers, and corrosion on underbody structures. Two failed tests on 28 March 2022 and 28 March 2023 carry no recorded defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical faults, with both converted to passes the same day. The owner rectified whatever blocked the certificate without delay. No advisories on suspension, exhaust, brakes, or bodywork appear in any entry, so the previous keeper clearly kept the car to a basic pass standard. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection focused on hidden age-related defects the MOT will not catch. Check suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking from inactivity, probe sills and subframes for structural rust, and confirm brake discs are free of pitting after low-mileage storage. Verify the tyres are not aged beyond five years even with ample tread, as a car covering 1,250 miles a year will degrade rubber through time rather than wear.
