2017 Mazda 2 1.5L Petrol · SV67 YNO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of improvement over the last three years. The most recent test in November 2025 at 51,712 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that previous mechanical concerns have been addressed. The car is currently operating in a compliant state according to the latest DVSA inspection data. At 51,712 miles over nine years, this Mazda 2 has averaged approximately 5,746 miles per annum, which is significantly lower than the national average. The usage pattern appears remarkably consistent, with roughly 5,300 miles covered between the November 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 5,800 miles between 2023 and 2024. This low mileage suggests light use of the drivetrain and engine, though it occasionally risks component degradation from long periods sitting stationary. A physical inspection should focus on the brake system and underbody corrosion points. The November 2022 test at 34,225 miles flagged corroded brake pipes on both front wheels, covered in grease, which often indicates a previous attempt to mask surface rust. While the tester noted no further defects in subsequent years, a buyer must verify that these pipes are free of significant pitting or that they were professionally replaced. Additionally, the insecure exhaust heatshield noted in 2023 should be checked to ensure it is not rattling or vibrating against the exhaust manifold. The 2021 advisory regarding uneven rear tyre wear on the edges suggests a previous alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. Given the low mileage, the buyer should inspect the rubber components in the suspension for cracking or dry rot, which can occur with age regardless of the distance driven. The overall structural integrity appears uncompromised as no corrosion-related failures or advisories have appeared in the recorded history.
