Default Knocking/thumping noise at 70mph

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if someone could help me. Bought mazda2 65reg with 28000 on the clock. Looked good and grove well on test drive. Now I can hear this gentle knocking when accelerating at 70mph. Can't figure out where it's coming from engine or the wheels. I've never had Mazda before so don't know if it's normal. It's not that old and the mileage is low so shouldn't have any problems. Just wonder if it's normal for mazda2 and I am just overcautous. Opinions appreciated.

For anyone outside the UK, "65 reg" means nothing. What year & series Mazda 2 do you have?

Check that there is no damage to the undertrays or loose trims/undertrays.
