2009 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · FP09 KXT

The Mazda 2 presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 24 January 2026 at 111,127 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle cleared the latest test with no defects logged. Prior to that, it failed on 3 January 2026 at 110,900 miles, yet the DVSA entry lists no defects recorded, indicating an administrative or presentation failure rather than a mechanical fault. A similar pattern occurred in August 2024, when the car failed on 30 August at 103,161 miles with no defects noted, then passed cleanly on 6 September 2024 at 103,275 miles. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for a 17-year-old vehicle. The record shows 97,567 miles at the September 2023 test, rising to 103,275 by September 2024, then 111,127 by January 2026. That equates to roughly 6,500 miles per year, with no sudden jumps or prolonged dormant periods suggesting neglect through disuse. The sparse history, showing only five entries across three years, offers limited visibility but contains no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions at any stage. Given the two failure entries with no defects recorded, a buyer should verify with the selling garage whether those were documentary rejections or test centre errors rather than genuine faults. The clean pass on 24 January 2026 means no statutory advisories exist to guide inspection, but at 111,127 miles the original coil springs, calipers, and structural underbody should still be physically checked for fatigue and rust. The absence of flagged wear items does not exempt the new owner from assessing tyre condition and wiper operation, which fall outside MOT failure thresholds until severely degraded.
