2009 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · GV09 PXR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having maintained a clean record through its most recent inspections. The latest test conducted on 25 August 2023 at 110,825 miles passed without any defects or advisories. This indicates that the mechanical and safety components met the minimum legal standards at that point in time. However, given that the last test occurred nearly three years ago, the vehicle is currently overdue for its annual MOT, and an immediate inspection is required to identify any degradation occurring during this extended period. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. Between August 2021 and August 2022, the car covered 5,577 miles, followed by an additional 10,418 miles between August 2022 and August 2023. This recent increase in usage suggests the car has been driven regularly, which generally benefits the drivetrain and suspension components by preventing seized brake calipers or perished rubber seals. The lack of recorded advisories during these passing tests suggests that the previous owners likely addressed minor wear items before they reached a point of failure. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on structural integrity and suspension components, as the MOT record does not provide data on emerging rust. At 17 years old, the Mazda 2 is prone to corrosion in the sills, wheel arches, and rear mounting points. While the history shows no mechanical failures, the three-year gap since the last test means that hidden leaks or perished perished could have developed undetected. Inspect the control arm bushes and shock absorbers for signs of wear that would have been captured in the last official check.
