Our Verdict
A strong candidate for buyers seeking a
When inspecting this specific Mazda 2, focus on the consumables. The MOT history shows a pattern of tyres being worn close to the legal limit (noted in 2021 and 2022) and front brake pads wearing thin (noted in 2022 and 2024). Ensure the current set of tyres has ample tread depth and that the braking system does not require immediate replacement.
Given the low mileage for a 2009 vehicle, check for any signs of age-related deterioration that might not be captured by MOT tests, such as rubber seals or battery health. Ask the seller for any service records to supplement the MOT data, as the MOT only confirms the vehicle met minimum safety standards on specific dates.
The 1498cc petrol engine is generally efficient for urban driving. As a 2009 model, the tax band and insurance group should be relatively affordable, making it a sensible choice for budget-conscious drivers.
Maintenance costs for this model typically revolve around standard servicing and replacing wear-and-tear items like tyres and brakes, which have appeared in the recent MOT history. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, fall in the mid-range for a small petrol hatchback.
Pay close attention to the tyres and braking components. The MOT history for PE59FDM has specifically flagged near-side rear tyres, offside front tyres, and front brake pads in previous years. Check that these have been addressed and are not currently nearing the legal limit.
Additionally, while this vehicle has avoided the most common model failures such as suspension arms, coil springs, or headlamp issues, it is still prudent to inspect the suspension components and headlight alignment to ensure they remain in good order.
This 2009 silver Mazda 2 has covered 47,278 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average of 5,640 miles per year. The MOT history shows five recorded tests with no major failures, though there is a recurring pattern of advisories regarding tyre wear and brake pad thickness. Overall, the vehicle presents as a low-usage example of this 1.5L petrol model.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 79.6%, with common failure points being suspension arms, coil springs, and headlamps.
