2009 Mazda 2 1.5L Petrol · SA59 ADX

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 12 November 2024 at 94,450 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. The November 2024 pass followed a failed attempt on 11 November 2024 at identical mileage, though the failure listed no defects, implying an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault-driven halt. Prior tests in November 2023 at 89,753 miles and November 2022 at 84,465 miles also passed cleanly, with a similar defect-free failure logged on 4 November 2022 at 84,462 miles. The pattern shows no worsening mechanical condition across the recorded history. At roughly 17 years old, the Mazda 2 shows 94,450 recorded miles, equating to about 5,556 miles per year and indicating light use for its age. Annual increments are consistent and low: 4,288 miles between the November 2022 and November 2023 tests, then 4,697 miles to November 2024. The two same-day failure and pass pairs in 2022 and 2024 at near-identical mileages suggest the car stood unused between tests and was presented without prior preparation. The DVSA record is sparse and clean, with no advisories or noted wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion across any entry. A buyer should still inspect the vehicle in person for age-related structural rust on sills and suspension mounting points, as the MOT record omits advisories that a visual inspection may reveal on a 2009 chassis. The low standing mileage raises the risk of perished rubber components, such as brake hoses and engine mounts, and flat-spotted tyres from prolonged storage. Verify the reason for the two defect-free failures with the selling garage, since the record gives no technical cause. Given the clean test outcomes and stable low-mileage profile, the mechanical history implies conscientious basic upkeep by previous owners, though the absence of advisories on an older car warrants hands-on checks of brake disc condition and exhaust integrity before purchase.
