2008 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · TM08 FAR

The vehicle demonstrates consistent roadworthiness, with all MOT tests from 2021 to 2025 recording no defects. The most recent test on 2025-12-03 at 118,553 miles confirmed compliance, indicating stable maintenance practices. No recurring issues or structural concerns were flagged across the six-year history, suggesting the previous owner prioritized regular servicing. However, the gap between the last MOT and today’s date (2026-07-19) exceeds the standard one-year interval, raising questions about whether the vehicle has remained compliant since its final test. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 18-year-old vehicle, averaging ~6,586 miles annually. The tests were conducted at regular intervals, with consistent mileage increments between each assessment. Notably, the 2024-11-25 test at 106,207 miles and the 2023-11-23 test at 92,132 miles show no anomalies in wear patterns. The absence of advisories or failures in the records implies no significant mechanical degradation, though the lack of detailed service logs limits insight into non-MOT-related maintenance. A buyer should verify the condition of consumables like tyres and brake pads, as these are not inspected during MOTs. The suspension system, including bushes and coil springs, warrants scrutiny for age-related wear, particularly given the vehicle’s 18-year lifespan. Corrosion in the underbody or exhaust system, common in older cars, should also be checked. While the MOT history reflects no critical faults, the extended gap since the last test necessitates a pre-purchase inspection to confirm ongoing roadworthiness.
