2017 Mazda 2 1.5L Petrol · SY17 VRR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on 17 June 2025 at 40,761 miles. The maintenance trend appears generally stable despite a recent mechanical failure during that same session. The tester initially failed the car for a fractured nearside front coil spring, which was rectified to secure the pass. This indicates that the owner is responsive to critical safety defects once they are identified during the testing process. The mileage profile is low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per annum. There is a significant jump in usage noted between June 2024 and June 2025, where the car covered 12,225 miles in a single year, compared to just 3,061 miles in the preceding year. While the low total mileage is an advantage, periods of low use can sometimes lead to accelerated degradation of rubber components and brake assemblies due to lack of movement. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and suspension. The June 2024 test at 28,536 miles flagged both the nearside and offside rear brake pipes for corrosion obscured by grease. While the vehicle passed subsequently, the presence of grease on brake lines suggests a past leak or a messy repair that could hide developing rust. Furthermore, given the fractured coil spring found in 2025, a thorough check of the remaining suspension springs and bushes is necessary to ensure no other signs of fatigue or corrosion are present.
