2009 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · WV59 JUX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent test on 12 August 2025 at 55,033 miles. While the car has experienced intermittent mechanical advisories over the last few years, the absence of defects in the latest inspection suggests that previous issues have been addressed. The maintenance trend appears to be resolving, moving from a period of minor component wear back to a defect-free status. The recorded mileage of 55,033 miles over a 17-year lifespan indicates very light usage, averaging approximately 3,237 miles per year. This low annual mileage is consistent throughout the history, with steady increments between tests, such as the 2,800-mile increase between the August 2023 and August 2024 inspections. Such low usage often implies less mechanical wear on the drivetrain, though it can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components and seals due to infrequent operation. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension and braking systems during a physical inspection. The MOT record shows a recurring pattern of brake issues, with the tester flagging fluctuating front service brakes in both August 2023 at 49,736 miles and August 2024 at 52,537 miles. Although the 2025 test cleared these, the history suggests the braking system may be prone to minor irregularities. Similarly, the vehicle has had issues with coil springs, specifically a fracture in August 2018 and corrosion on the offside rear spring in August 2023. Tyre maintenance has also been inconsistent, with the tester noting tyres worn close to the legal limit in August 2016 and again in August 2024. The 2024 advisory specifically mentioned uneven wear on the edges of the front tyres, which can indicate underlying suspension geometry or alignment issues. While the most recent record is clear, inspecting the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs remains a necessary precaution given these historical trends.
