2008 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · LD58 FSZ

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT status following a pass on September 18, 2025. While the most recent entry shows an initial failure on that same day, the vehicle was subsequently cleared with no further defects recorded. Beyond this specific incident, the maintenance trend appears stable as the tests from 2022 through 2024 all passed without failures or advisories, suggesting a consistent level of basic regulatory compliance over the last three years. At 99,948 miles, this 18-year-old Mazda has averaged approximately 5,553 miles per year. This figure is significantly lower than the national average for a vehicle of this age. The record shows consistent annual testing between 2022 and 2025, indicating the car has been used regularly. However, low mileage on older vehicles can sometimes mask the degradation of rubber-based components or fluid-related issues that are not always captured by a stationary MOT emissions test. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity, as older Japanese vehicles from this era are prone to corrosion in the sills, wheel arches, and floor pans. Despite the lack of recorded advisories in the digital history, the tester flagged a failure in September 2025 that was rectified quickly; close attention should be paid to the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake lines for signs of perishing or leaks, as these components suffer from age-related wear regardless of the low annual mileage. Buying score: 68 Risk level: Low.
