2008 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · DA57 TCO

The Mazda 2 presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 8 December 2025 at 98,806 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the three years of records supplied. The December 2025 test pass came after a same-day failure at 98,803 miles where the tester logged no defects, mirroring an identical pattern on 10 December 2024 when a failure at 91,481 miles preceded a pass at 91,484 miles with no faults recorded. Such paired fail-pass entries with zero defects suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults, and no advisories or defects appear anywhere in the history. The odometer shows 80,517 miles at the December 2023 test, rising to 91,484 by December 2024 and 98,806 by December 2025. That equates to roughly 11,000 miles in year one and 7,300 in year two, against a long-term average near 5,500 miles per year for an 18-year-old car. The low overall mileage indicates light use, though the 2023 to 2024 jump hints at a period of heavier driving; standing time between earlier years is plausible but unrecorded. The clean sheet across all tests means no wear-driven consumable or structural flags exist in the data to challenge that picture. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the car. Eighteen years of age invites corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points even where the MOT logged nothing. The tester recorded no advisories on coil springs, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions, but absence in the record is not proof of condition at sale. Verify the V5C and test station paperwork for the two zero-defect failures, since repeated same-day reversals without noted causes warrant scrutiny. Check tyre tread depth, wiper blades, and handbrake travel in person, and confirm the mileage is genuine given the low total against the age.
