MAZDA 22010 · 1.4L Diesel

The 2010 Mazda 2 remains roadworthy based on its most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-11-20 at 127,816 miles, which showed no defects. The maintenance trend is stable, with three consecutive MOT passes since 2022, including a 2024-06-03 test at 119,037 miles and a 2022-10-18 test at 94,642 miles. No recurring issues were flagged in these assessments, indicating consistent upkeep. However, the 2022-10-17 failure at the same mileage as the subsequent pass suggests potential data inconsistency or a minor, resolved fault. The vehicle’s mileage of 127,816 miles over 16 years aligns with an average of 7,988 miles annually, reflecting typical usage. Notable gaps exist between tests, such as the 18-month interval between the 2021-08-27 pass at 87,213 miles and the 2022-10-18 pass at 94,642 miles, which may indicate periods of reduced activity. The 2024-06-03 test revealed a 14,395-mile increase from 2022, suggesting accelerated usage, but no mechanical concerns were recorded. The MOT history lacks detailed defect reports, limiting insight into wear patterns beyond surface-level compliance. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, which may show wear given the vehicle’s age. The exhaust system and corrosion levels, especially in the underbody, warrant scrutiny, as these components often degrade over time. While no brake-related issues were noted, a pre-purchase check for binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear is advisable. The absence of structural integrity reports in the MOT records means a physical inspection is essential to confirm the chassis remains undamaged.
