2017 Mazda 2 1.5L Petrol · KF17 GOC

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend despite some recurring minor wear issues. The most recent test in July 2025 at 65,784 miles passed with only minor defects, noting light misting on the nearside front shock absorber and slight damage to the mirror. This mirrors a previous advisory recorded back in July 2020, suggesting the suspension component is aging but has not yet reached a point of failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year. Data shows a steady accumulation of mileage, moving from 12,482 miles in 2020 to over 65,000 miles by the most recent inspection. This regular usage suggests the car has not been left to sit for excessively long periods, which is generally beneficial for maintaining rubber seals and mechanical components. The failure in July 2021 at 18,658 miles due to thin front inner brake pads indicates that the owner responds to consumable wear once they reach legal limits. A buyer should specifically inspect the nearside front shock absorber to ensure the oil misting has not progressed into a significant leak that would affect handling. The history also shows that front brake discs were flagged as worn or pitted in both 2022 and 2023. While these passed subsequent tests, the physical condition of the discs and pads should be checked during a physical inspection to ensure they are not nearing immediate replacement. No structural corrosion or serious mechanical failures have appeared in the record, pointing to a well-maintained example of this model.
