2017 Mazda 2 1.5L Petrol · ST17 PMV

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test on July 4, 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, despite a single mechanical failure just one mile prior to that pass. The failure was recorded at 43,412 miles due to a fractured offside front coil spring, which was clearly rectified immediately to allow the vehicle to pass with no further defects. This indicates the owner is responsive to safety-critical mechanical failures. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns with steady increments, such as the 9,789 miles driven between the 2022 and 2023 tests, and the 8,026 miles recorded between 2023 and 2024. This pattern suggests short-distance commuting. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components if the car frequently sits stationary for long periods between uses. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the front suspension to ensure the replacement coil spring was seated correctly and that no other components show signs of fatigue. Given the low mileage and age, it is vital to check for perished rubber in brake lines and suspension bushings, which can crack over time regardless of distance driven. The lack of recorded advisories across the last four years suggests a clean structural history, but the tester should verify the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, common in vehicles that are used sparingly.
