2017 Mazda 2 1.5L Petrol · SA67 ACV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 9 September 2025 at 62,424 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating the car currently meets all regulatory standards. While a failure was noted in early September 2024, the immediate pass on the same day suggests that the identified faults were addressed promptly rather than indicating chronic mechanical neglect. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical low-use cycles, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year over nine years. Between August 2022 at 37,087 miles and August 2023 at 44,837 miles, the car covered roughly 7,750 miles, followed by an interval of 9,299 miles between the August 2023 and September 2024 tests. This steady, low-intensity accumulation generally reduces the wear stress on drivetrain components, engine internals, and suspension bushings compared to high-mileage vehicles of the same age. A prospective buyer should verify the specific cause of the failure in September 2024 to ensure the repair was comprehensive. Given the low mileage and age, the physical inspection should focus on rubber components such as suspension arm bushes and tyre sidewalls which can crack or perish over time regardless of distance driven. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as low-use vehicles often suffer from oxidation on the rotors if the car is not driven frequently.
