2008 Mazda 2 1.5L Petrol · DV58 AAO

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT test on 3 October 2023 at 123,788 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded. However, that inspection is now nearly three years old given today's date of 9 August 2026, so the car's current roadworthiness is unverified. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, with every recorded annual test concluding in a pass, including the latest one. The mileage pattern shows roughly 7,400 miles covered between the September 2022 and October 2023 tests, and around 7,700 miles between the 2021 and 2022 tests. That is consistent, moderate annual usage for a vehicle of its age. Each failed test occurred on the day immediately before the corresponding pass, with no defects recorded, which indicates these were likely re-tests following minor administrative or rectifiable issues rather than serious mechanical failures. The car has averaged approximately 6,900 miles per year across its life, which is typical for a small urban hatchback. A buyer should focus on areas that commonly deteriorate on an 18-year-old Mazda 2 of this mileage: suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and lines, plus general structural corrosion on sills and subframes. With the last inspection now over two years old, a fresh MOT should be commissioned before purchase, and the braking system checked for binding calipers and worn discs. Tyre condition and other consumables cannot be verified from this record, so a full pre-purchase inspection remains essential.
