2009 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · DA59 XPR

The Mazda 2 presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 4 April 2026 at 123,725 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every recorded test from 2023 onward resulting in a pass. A single failure appears on 3 April 2026 at the same mileage, yet the record lists no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue at the test centre rather than a mechanical fault. The vehicle cleared the retest one day later. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,278 miles, typical for a 2009 car of this type. The record shows 112,602 miles on 21 November 2023, rising to 115,275 by 17 September 2024 and 115,304 by 8 April 2025. The owner covered only about 2,700 miles across that thirteen-month span, then added 8,421 miles before the April 2026 test. Such a low-use period followed by a modest annual increase suggests the car spent stretches idle, though no excessive accumulation stresses the drivetrain. The clean advisory list across all five entries means the DVSA record itself carries no flagged wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished MOT trail. Standing time between late 2023 and mid 2025 can allow moisture ingress and surface rust on sills, subframes, and brake discs even when a test shows no structural defect. The lack of advisories does not certify component life; at 123,725 miles the original coil springs, calipers, and exhaust system are aged and may fail soon after sale without warning. Verify the 3 April 2026 failure reason with the testing station, as the zero-defect entry is irregular. Check brake disc thickness, suspension arm bushes, and underbody integrity in person before purchase. The history implies conscientious basic upkeep, but the sparse gap in 2024 to 2025 warrants hands-on confirmation of mechanical condition.
