Our Verdict
Proceed with confidence, as this specific 2008 Mazda 2 shows a consistent track record of passing MOT tests. While the mileage is higher than the model average, the recent inspection history is remarkably clean.
When inspecting this vehicle, focus on the mechanical components that are common failure points for the Mazda 2 model, such as the suspension arms and braking system. While this specific car has not recorded failures for these items, they are statistically the most frequent reasons for failure across the wider model population.
Request a detailed service history to supplement the MOT data, as the MOT only confirms the vehicle met minimum safety standards at the time of testing. Given the mileage is approaching the 100,000-mile mark, check for any signs of wear in the suspension, steering, and clutch, which are typical areas of interest for a petrol engine of this age and usage.
With a 1349cc petrol engine, this Mazda 2 is positioned in a relatively economical bracket for a small hatchback. Owners can typically expect moderate fuel economy suitable for urban and suburban driving.
Insurance groups for this engine size are generally affordable, making it a practical choice for newer drivers. Maintenance costs should be predictable, though you should budget for standard consumables like tyres and brake discs, which are identified as common replacement items for this model. The estimated annual running cost is moderate, factoring in the higher-than-average mileage.
Based on the aggregate data for the Mazda 2, you should pay close attention to the suspension arms and tyres, as these are the top reasons for MOT failures across the model range. Even though this vehicle's recent history shows no defects, these components are subject to wear over time.
Additionally, inspect the brake discs and pads. Since the vehicle has covered nearly 100,000 miles, ensure there is no excessive play in the steering or unusual noises from the underside when driving over bumps, which could indicate wear in the suspension components.
This black 1.3L petrol Mazda 2 has been on the road since October 2008 and has covered 99,948 miles as of its most recent test. The MOT history shows a series of passes since 2022, with the most recent test in September 2025 recording no defects. Although the mileage is significantly higher than the aggregate annual average for this model, the lack of recorded failures in recent years is a notable observation.
The Mazda 2 shows an average MOT pass rate of 79.7% across the sampled population, with suspension and braking components being the most common failure points.
