2008 Mazda 2 1.5L Petrol · LL57 HCF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent clean record despite intermittent testing failures. The most recent test on 23 September 2025 at 104,988 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure on the same day. This suggests the owner is proactive in rectifying identified issues immediately to ensure compliance, maintaining the vehicle in a functional mechanical state over the last two years. The mileage profile is notably low for an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,833 miles per year. Between August 2023 at 92,732 miles and August 2024 at 98,918 miles, the car covered 6,186 miles, followed by another 6,070 miles in the subsequent year. This consistent, low usage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber seals and brake components if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as older Mazda models of this era are prone to corrosion regardless of mileage. While the MOT history shows no advisories for rust, the low annual mileage warrants a check of the suspension bushes and coil springs which may perish from age. Additionally, a detailed inspection of the brake discs and calipers is necessary to ensure that low usage has not caused surface pitting or seizing of the braking mechanism.
