2007 Mazda 2 1.5L Petrol · OE57 GLZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the clean result of its most recent MOT inspection. The test conducted on 1 December 2022 at 185,890 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the car met minimum standards at that time. While the history shows previous failures in 2020 and 2021, the subsequent passes suggest that the owner addressed identified faults to maintain road legality. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,800 miles per year. Between November 2020 and December 2022, the car covered 24,770 miles, representing a steady rate of operation. However, there is now a significant gap of over three years since the last recorded test in late 2022. Given the current date of June 2026, the MOT is long out of date, and the lack of recent data makes it impossible to verify the mechanical condition or structural integrity of the vehicle during this intervening period. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as Mazdas of this era are prone to corrosion that can go unnoticed between tests. Because the vehicle has surpassed 185,000 miles, a thorough examination of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is necessary to check for excessive wear. The buyer should also inspect for binding calipers or thin brake discs, as the high mileage places significant strain on the braking system. Since the last recorded test was over three years ago, a comprehensive check for fluid leaks and exhaust degradation is essential to ensure no new mechanical failures have developed.
