2009 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · XY02 ENA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the data is now outdated by over four years. The most recent MOT recorded in January 2022 at 68,115 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories, indicating the car was in good mechanical condition at that time. However, because no test has been performed since that date, the current state of the braking system, emissions, and structural integrity cannot be verified, and the vehicle is currently overdue its MOT test. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. Between the April 2019 test at 52,516 miles and the 2022 test at 68,115 miles, the car covered 15,599 miles over three years. This low usage frequency suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but long periods of inactivity often lead to the degradation of age-related items like rubber seals, seized brake calipers, and perished suspension bushes, which are not always captured by low mileage figures alone. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the structural integrity, as older Mazda models are prone to corrosion in the sills and rear wheel arches. Given the significant gap in testing history, the inspector should check for brake disc corrosion and tyre sidew-wall cracks that result from sitting stationary. While the history is clean of recurring mechanical failures, the lack of recent data means a thorough check of the exhaust system and suspension mounts is essential before any purchase is finalised.
