2009 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · SH09 NNR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean passes to emerging mechanical concerns. While it passed the latest test on 28 May 2026 at 103,441 miles, it was flagged for a corroded front brake pipe that was obscured by grease. This failure follows a three-year period of no recorded defects between 2023 and 2025, indicating that the vehicle is now entering a phase requiring preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Between the 2022 test at 85,438 miles and the 2026 test at 103,441 miles, the car has covered roughly 18,000 miles. This low annual usage suggests light mechanical dewear on the drivetrain, but the age of the vehicle increases the likelihood of degradation in rubber components and structural oxidation rather than mileage-related fatigue. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and underbody, as the most recent report noted surface rust on the front and rear suspension as well as the inner and outer sills. The presence of a corroded enough pipe suggests that corrosion is affecting the hydraulic lines, which requires close monitoring for further thawing. Furthermore, given that front brake discs were already pitted in 2022, the current state of the braking system should be verified to ensure they have not progressed beyond their minimum thickness limits.
