2009 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · FL59 ADO

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness record, with no defects recorded in its last five consecutive MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-07-03 assessment at 53,444 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 showed similar pass results with no issues noted, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the car has been well-maintained, though the low mileage for its age warrants scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 53,444 miles over 17 years equates to approximately 3,144 miles annually, significantly below average for its age. This pattern suggests either infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and rubber seals. Notably, the 2021-06-28 test at 38,030 miles to the 2025-07-03 test at 53,444 miles shows a 15,414-mile increase over four years, averaging 3,853 miles per year, slightly above the long-term average but still low. The lack of rapid mileage spikes or gaps in testing implies no sudden usage changes, but the prolonged low-mileage profile requires closer inspection for hidden degradation. A buyer should physically examine the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as prolonged inactivity can cause stiffness or failure. The braking system, including calipers and discs, should be checked for corrosion or binding, particularly if the car was stored without regular use. Structural integrity remains unconfirmed by the MOT data, so underbody rust or corrosion, especially in high-moisture areas, should be scrutinized. The absence of recorded issues is positive, but the low mileage and age necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical condition beyond the MOT records.
