2009 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · SO09 EMK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing a consistent maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test on 22 January 2025 at 114,953 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an initial failure on the same day. This suggests that the owner is willing to rectify immediate issues to ensure compliance, and the car has since maintained a clean record without any advisories or failures in subsequent inspections. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. Between January 2023 at 101,155 miles and January 2025 at 114,953 miles, the car covered 13,798 miles, indicating steady accumulation and regular use rather than long periods of stagnation which can cause component perish. The low annual mileage for this age suggests less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, though the age-related degradation of rubber components and fluid seals remains a primary consideration. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension mounting points as older Mazda 2 models are prone to corrosion in these areas. While the MOT history shows no current mechanical failures, the recurring failures in 2023 and 2025 prior to passing indicate that minor items such as bulbs, wipers, or small components may require periodic attention. Check the brake discs for excessive corrosion and the condition of the suspension bushes to ensure that the low mileage hasn't led to seized components or perished rubber over time.
