2009 Mazda 2 1.5L Petrol · FL59 AEK

The Mazda 2 demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 16 November 2024 at 64,969 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Earlier tests in November 2023 at 57,565 miles and November 2022 at 52,177 miles also passed cleanly. The maintenance record shows no escalating mechanical concerns across the four subsequent annual examinations. Registered in 2009, the vehicle has covered roughly 64,969 miles in seventeen years, a low average of about 3,800 miles per annum. The available history begins on 9 November 2021 with a failed test at 39,909 miles followed later that day by a pass at 39,919 miles, both showing no defects logged. From that point, mileage rose sharply to 52,177 by 5 November 2022, then eased to 57,565 in 2023 and 64,969 in 2024. The absent records before late 2021 leave earlier usage patterns unverified, but the post-2021 data reveals intermittent higher annual use rather than steady low running. Punctual annual testing suggests the keeper observed statutory obligations. A buyer should physically inspect aged components that a clean MOT does not expose. The tester flagged no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs or structural corrosion, yet a seventeen-year-old hatchback commonly suffers perished rubber mounts and sill rust. The November 2021 failure with zero defects recorded remains anomalous and demands a check of the DVSA gateway entry to confirm no omitted advisory. Given the low overall mileage, mechanical wear may be lighter, but standing periods can accelerate brake caliper binding and tyre sidewall cracking.
