2008 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · DE08 MVM

The Mazda 2 presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 25 July 2025 at 112,150 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The tester logged no defects at that test. A prior failure on 24 July 2025 at identical mileage and a failure on 19 July 2023 at 100,573 miles both carried no recorded defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. No advisories or worsening conditions appear in the chain of tests. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,231 miles per year against an 18-year life, a typical use profile for this age of vehicle. The records show 106,092 miles on 20 July 2024 and 100,573 miles on 19 July 2023, giving under 6,000 miles between those years. The jump to 112,150 miles by July 2025 reflects a slight rise in use but no rapid accumulation or standing gaps. The clean defect sheet across all five entries suggests the previous keeper kept basic consumables and structure within test limits. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and 112,150 miles. The MOT data shows no corrosion or structural integrity flags, yet eighteen years invite hidden rust on sills and subframes unseen in a pass with no defects. Verify the 24 July 2025 failure cause with the DVSA, as a zero-defect fail often means a documentation mismatch rather than a roadworthiness risk. Check tyre tread depth and wiper condition in person despite no advisories, since these consumables wear between tests. The recurring zero-defect fail pattern implies the owner addressed paperwork promptly but offers no evidence of skipped mechanical care. The vehicle reads as a low-risk used purchase on the record alone.
