2009 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · WV59 WCM

The 2026‑02‑06 MOT at 123,621 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the DVSA roadworthiness standards. Since the 2022 test, which noted an offside rear coil spring corrosion and a distorted wheel, subsequent examinations through 2023, 2024 and 2025 have shown no new failures, suggesting a stable maintenance trend rather than worsening or improving conditions. The recorded mileage has risen from 68,964 miles in August 2015 to 123,621 miles in February 2026, an average of roughly 7,300 miles per year, which aligns with the typical usage for a 17‑year‑old car. The increments between tests are modest and consistent, with the largest jump of about 5,600 miles between March 2024 and March 2024, and no prolonged periods of inactivity evident in the sequence. A buyer should therefore concentrate on the recurring mechanical and structural issues highlighted in the history: the condition of the rear coil spring and other suspension mounting points, the integrity of the rear and near‑side wheels and tyre tread, the wear state of the front brake discs and pads, the play in the steering rack inner joint, and any signs of chassis rust that could affect structural integrity. Particular attention to the suspension bushes, shock absorbers and brake components will reveal whether the earlier defects have been fully remedied.
