2009 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · FL59 ACU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing tests. The most recent inspection conducted in April 2025 at 86,782 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets all safety and emissions standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2022 and 2024, suggesting that the owner has maintained the vehicle to a high mechanical standard over the last several years. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,100 miles per year. Between April 2022 and April 2025, the car covered 18,065 miles, with a jump of 6,730 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. While low mileage often reduces the wear on the engine and drivetrain components compared to high-mileage examples, long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid-related issues. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on age-related factors that the MOT record does not fully capture. The record shows a failure in April 2023 at 72,950 miles followed by an immediate pass one day later, though the specific defect was not detailed in the provided summary. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the chassis and suspension mounting points is essential to identify hidden structural corrosion, common on Mazdas of this era. Additionally, inspect the rubber suspension bushes and perished brake lines, as these parts often perish due to time regardless of the low miles driven.
